  I have a report that includes a subreport. The subreport is set to 2 columns. I am unable to control the height of each column. It seems like it is controlled by the paper height, instead of section height. If I set the section height, information is not visible before a new column is printed. I want the column to stop halfway down the page, and then create a new column. I have tried various CanGrow settings, but the only item that will affect when a new column starts is increasing the page footer height. Based on my need for other information at the bottom of the page, I cannot use page footer height as an option to force a new column.

  I have attached a sample picture of the report.
  
  Notice how group 9 is cut off and 10 is missing…
