I gave up with freezing headers in WF7 because the alignment wasnt great, I would like to use it. In WF8 I cant turn it off, sounds like good thing maybe. But now the squeeze doesnt work! If the image has uploaded youll see a super wide column with 4 characters in it. There are many more columns to the right which contain ONLY small values with 3 decimal places which are just as wide - any ideas

Could have several reasons.

The first one that I am thinking of is that your Location field is displaying a very large value somewhere in your report.

But since we dont know your data and style sheet used, difficult to tell

Which format is this report : HTML, PDF,

[Glyn Derby]

Thanks MartinY, but its not that. Its HTML format. Here is another column in the report a 3 character dayname. Seems as soon as you put the HFREEZE=TOP, you get the opposite of SQUEEZE

Which version are you with

Can you share your code and master file definition

[Glyn Derby]

V8207 this is code written to run with version 7 in notepad (is there something else I need to include ahead of the freeze)- I cant share the code with you unfortunately but here is a slice of the same report WITHOUT the freeze on (the headings are just off the top of the clip) it fits on the screen - no masterfile changes, no code changes, I just removed the HFREEZE command.

Unfortunately, without that ability to see your code and master file definition I think that the only solution that left to you is to open a case with TechSupport.

We cant help you not seeing that. Sorry

[Glyn Derby]

Thats ok MartinY thanks, Ill add it to the list .

Does your report have autofit on That will make the report as large as the frame, regardless of what is in the columns.

Do you have a specific seting for SET SHOWBLANKS

The default is OFF, if you have it to ON, it may also explain the issue
