Where is the table added - page body or page footer? The error seems to be pointing to a width issue - have you defined explicit sizing for the table or the table cells? If so, what did you specify?

i have added the table in the page body and specified the size and overflow of the table as Width 100%. i have inserted this table in a block and defined the size and overflow of the block as Height 40 px and Width 175 px.

A block always extends all the way across the page (ie you cannot have objects alongside a block) so there is no point in specifying its width as something different to the page width. Why have you put your table in a block? A height of 40px for the contents of the block (ie the entire table) sounds way too small. Why not just set the table size and overflow and ditch the block? Set thre table size to something appropriate, too - a height of 40px and a width of 175px saonds much too small to me.

Hi MFGF,

i did try a few things on resizing the table but dint work for me. what i did change is the page set query. i used the same query for the page and page set and tested the report which worked.

to be honest i dint get the proper flow of what is happening, but just by trial and error my issue got resolved.

Really appreciate your help.

Regards
