Orphaned Table Footers

Hello.
I have a report that uses one table in the body. The actual report header is
empty and the actual report footer only shows the page number. I use the
Table header and have "Repeat on New Page" set to True. I use the table
header instead because I need to display some summary data at the top of each
page.
I have 4 groups total and the header of the outermost group (table1_group1)
is the one that repeats on each page.
The reports display fine most of the time and the Table1_group1 table header
repeats as it should, but whenever the spacing works out that the
Table1_Footer1 table footer needs to start on a new page, the footer prints
on its own without the table header. The table1_Group1 table footer does not
repeat on each page and only shows up as the last page for each group as it
shows some totals/sums.
Any ideas on how to fix this so the Table_1Group1 table header will print
even when only the Table1Group1 table footer is being printed?
Thanks,
Brian.Hi Brian,
I'd like to get a clear understanding of your issue to
be able to assist you better.

1. In Reporting Services there is no sections called
Report Header or Report Footer although the black space
above/below the data region can be regarded as Report
Header/Report Footer. Since "the actual report footer
only shows the page number", I'd like to confirm if you
mean Page Header/Page Footer by saying Report
Header/Report Footer.
>Table header and have "Repeat on New Page" set to True.

2. This is the second one I'd like to confirm. You set
the "RepeatOnNewPage" property of the Table Header
rather than the Group Header to true.
>I have 4 groups total and the header of the outermost
group (table1_group1)
>is the one that repeats on each page.
3. How did you do with the outermost group named
table1_group1 so that it repeats on each page? Did you
set the "RepeatOnNewPage" property of the Group Header
of this group to true or place a "Page Break at end" of
the group?
>The reports display fine most of the time and the

you mean the "group header of Table1_group1"?

5. A Table Footer only appears at the end of a table.
I'd like to confirm if you mean Table Footer or Group
Footer of Table1_group1.

6. Setting the "RepeatOnNewPage" property of the Group
Header to true should have no such a problem. By doing
this the group header repeats on each page.
For us, the most efficient troubleshooting method would
be reproducing this issue on our end. If the issue
persists, please try to reproduce the issue with a
sample database and post the detailed reproduce steps.
If anything is unclear, get in touch.

Sorry, I used some wrong terminology. Here are the clarifications.
1) -Page header is empty.
- it is the page footer that only shows the page number
2) -Table header row is deleted (I don't use it).
- RepeatOnNewPage property of the Table1_Group1 header is set to true. This
is the header that contains some summary data and I want it to repeat on each
page.
- Table Footer is included. RepeatOnNewPage property is set to TRUE. This is
just an empty row with a bottom border. This repeats on each page to give the
table a bottom border on each page.
3) -Table1_Group1 Header RepeatOnNewPage Property is TRUE
-When I go "Edit Group", Page break at start, include group header, include
group footer, AND repeat group header are checked off. So both "Repeat Group
Header" is checked and RepeatOnNewPage property is TRUE.
4) - Yes, I mean the Group Header of Table1_Group1
5) - Yes, I mean the Group Footer of Table1_Group1
I think this might be the problem:
The Group Headers will repeat on each page in the print preview and when
exporting to PDF as long as the page displays data from the Table Details
section or data from inner groups. But if the Outermost group footer is
squeezed onto the next page by itself then the group header does not show.
I was able to replicate this problem using a very simple report.
Steps:
1) Create a new report. have the data set return only 1 row to make things
simple (.EG Select Top 1 * from table).
2) Create a table in the body of the report
3) Get rid of the table header and the table footer. so only the table
details section remains.
4) Add a group. Group on anything since only 1 row is returned by the query.
-so now there's 3 rows in the layout. Table1_Group1 Header, Detail, and
Table1_Group1 Footer.
5) Type something into the table1_group1 header,
-Edit the group and check off
6) Drag a field into the body.
7) type something into the table1_Group1 footer. footer only shows up at the
end of each group change and does not repeat on each page.
8) Now, make the detail row long, so that it just squeezes the table1_Group1
footer onto the next page in the print preview.
The Table1_Group1 Header will show up on the first page along with the
detail row, but in the next page, only the table1_Group1 footer row shows.
The table1_Group1 header does not appear even though it should repeat on each
page.
This happens in the Print Preview (NOT THE PREVIEW TAB OR WHEN VIEWING
ONLINE) and also when you export the report to PDF. Viewing the report just
online is fine.
For my real report, the table1_Group1 header always repeats fine except on
pages where only the table1_Group1 footer has been squeezed onto the next
page by itself.
Like I said, my report has 4 groups, each group gives subtotals at various
levels and the table1_Group1 Footer gives a grand total for each set.
Hopefully the problem is clear now.
Thanks!
Brian.

From the product team's feedback, in this case we've
made the detail row tall enough that the header row plus
the detail row plus the footer row is simply too big for
a page.
In the case of HTML and Preview, we use a flexible
pagination algorithm that allows pages to grow somewhat
to accommodate this sort of layout.
In the case of PDF or Print Preview, we must respect the
page size settings precisely.
This is by design in Reporting Services. As an end user
too, I can truly understand your concern about it.
Currently we have some options for you regarding this
issue:
a. You may want to send a feature change request to
mswish@.microsoft.com. By submitting your concern to
mswish@.microsoft.com you can get your voice into the
design plans for upcoming versions. Microsoft takes
customer requests and suggestions very seriously. MSWISH
is your voice to the development team. A significant
number of the design change requests come from our
customers through the MSWISH alias and the MSWISH web
site. http://www.microsoft.com/mswish. I encourage you
to submit this request.
b. You can talk to the support engineers directly in
Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) to see if they
can find a workaround or offer a fix. For a complete
list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone

I have the same problem as Brian and need to find a solution.
Whilst I accept that pagination dictates that the footer will be forced
onto a new page, it seems to me that, where one section of the
group/table is rendered on a new page (in this case the footer), then
the header should also be repeated on that page.
Can you or the product team suggest a workaround for this issue ?

>> Hello.

>> The reports display fine most of the time and the
