  My report has two detail subsections DetailA, DetailB, together taking the height of the page.
  
  When DetailB is hidden, I want to increase or autogrow the height of DetailA; when DetailB is show, decrease DetailA height.
  
  Something like this is working for the visibility of DetailB, but not for the change in height of DetailA
  
  If [Page] = 1 Then
  
  Detail.SubSections(1).Visible = False
  
  Detail.SubSections(0).Height = 15000
  
  Else
  
  Detail.SubSections(1).Visible = True
  
  Detail.SubSections(0).Height = 10410
  
  EndIf

  I have autogrow turned on.
  
  Also, I have anchors set so that the vertical lines that are drawn in DetailA will resize according to the size of the subsection. But this is not working either.

  I’ve been search this forum for help but everything of interest gives me a 404 not found error, bad link.

  Hi,
  
  As per the developer, OnFormat is fired for each section prior to its printing. When it is fired the 2nd time (when the ‘error’ occurs) the renderer is still on the first page, it has not added a new page yet as it has no prior knowledge whether the new section will fit on the current (first) page or not. So the test does not work as expected, and it is not a bug in FlexReport.

  To print something on the first page only, one can use a boolean flag which is reset after the first use. I added a _firstPrinted flag that does just that, and it works as desired.

  Thanks,
