Looks like you're running out of horizontal space. It doesn't matter how wide you make the subreport on the parent report. If it's too wide, it will spill over. Make your subreport (the report itself, not the object) smaller.

I'm sorry, but I'm just frustrated and starting to get upset with the program.  WTH is the point of design view, if it's just going to do whatever it wants in print view?!?!  For instance, if all of my text boxes are set to can grow & can shrink, why do I have gaps above "Opportunities" and "Future Outlook"?  Also, for the love of everything that is good, why can I not get my subreport to print on one sheet?  As for the size of my subreport, it's already as a small as I can possibly make it.

This is really bothering me.  It seems for every work around I come up with, it causes three more problems.  If I move the subreport above the floorplans, now I have even more gaps in my text boxes.  I do not understand what is going on.  All of these objects are independent of each other; why does Access not recognize that?

Looks like your problem is your still way too wide. Look at the ruler on top going past 14". If you're printing on letter paper you get 8.5" width, you ned to shrink that down from 14+ to probably 8 to be safe with your margins (or change margins to get a tiny bit more). If in design view the entire report isnt less than 8.5x11 with margins on letter paper, who knows what you're actually going to get when you print.

As for the blank space, is that the can grow can shrink function?

Looks like the fields on the right are pushing the SubReport down when they grow and that is why it's on the next page..

Sorry, meant fields on the left. lol

Width isn't the issue.  The report is setup to print 11X17 landscape.  As for the gaps, I don't think it's a grow/shrink issue.  The bold titles are labels, and the text is text boxes.  They're all individual fields as well.  It's almost like Access is trying to do some autoformatting: forcing like objects to line-up where I don't want them to align.  As for the subreport, it is also an independent object that has nothing to do with the text fields, so why is it affected?

It's almost like Access wants each object (regardless of type) to align with vertically with each object (regardless of type) to the left or right.  Access is forcing alignments and relationships where there should be none.

That's exactly what's happening: Access is forcing layout alignments when and where I don't want them.  How do I stop that?

Adam - OP states 11x17 landscaped.

Maybe I should wear my glasses instead of just looking at pictures... LOL

At least I know I'm in good company when I goof like that!  LOL

Would the tab order have any effect on how the objects align during print preview?

So... apparently, I have found a problem with Access that nobody knows how to answer.  Great.

It shouldn't, I would be more interested in the Format properties, maybe play with some of those like Auto Size, or GrpBy

I don't know, and I'm running out of hair to pull.  The page set up is 11x17 landscape.  I have room for everything to fit on one sheet.  That's not even in question.  Along the right hand side of the page, are three stacked images, each 3" tall (again, fits within my page).  These images are for the basement, first floor, and second floor plan.  Some buildings will have all three, some only one or two. But the place holder is there.

Along the left hand side of my page is all of my text fields.  They are set at can grow/can shrink.  Again, though, I have all of the room in the world to fit them on one single page.

In the middle of the report is the subreport which puts a sq ft summation of all of the room types in the building.  The size of this subreport will change with every building.

All three of these sections (texts subreport, images) are independent of each other.  There is no overlap.  And my design is well within the limitations of a 10.5x16.5 print area.  So, I am frustrat

ed beyond belief why I can't get everything to print on one page.  It is like there is some kind of invisible barrier or control that wants to line up all of my objects whether they need to be or not (they don't!  Cover and alignment is not required for this project).

Visually, there is a hard line at the bottom of my subreport, so even though I have can shrink set on my text boxes, they won't shrink up.  Likewise, because (I am guessing) my image is a different size than the text box, the bottom right image falls over onto the next page, even though I have more than enough room for it to fit on the first page!  All of my images are set to zoom, so there is no reason for it not to fit onto this page.

I have been trying to google an answer all day and I keep coming up with crickets.  What am I doing wrong?  Why can't I figure this out?

Even the two columns of text on the left hand side are troubling me.  Even though can grow/can shrink is set as yes, it's not shrinking up the texts because it want's to keep text in the left hand column aligned with the text in the right hand column.  Which is fine, I can overlook that because it actually makes sense.  The problem, however, is that it shouldn't be doing that; I don't know why it is or how to fix/change it.

Some trouble shooting suggestions.  
From a COPY:
Remove individual elements one at a time to determine who is causing the problem.
Only make one change and test. Then put it back.

Try making the text boxes as big as you will ever need.  Turn off can grow and only allow can shrink (Not sure if you can do this I didn't try.)

I seem to recall that can shrink only works correctly if another element is not directly to the left of or right of it.  Sorry no reference I can give you.

I know it's not what you want to hear but you might need to have a "Discussion page" and an "Exhibits" page with the images.

Unfortunately the Access report designer isn't a graphics design program like where you are laying out a brochure. You can't adjust individual elements very easily and still have them be dynamic like you are trying to achieve.  
(Like i needed to tell you that.  LOL)

So, the subreport is the culprit.  If put fixed sizes and positions on all of my text boxes with all text boxes set to no grow/no shrink (and, likewise, the image on the right hand side is in a fixed position), the subreport still wants to shove everyone downward.  Is there any to correct for this?  A property control I might be missing or have overlooked perhaps?

SOLVED!! I ran through all of the properties for the subreport: I gave it a fixed position on the report layout AND turned off can grow.  Report prints beautifully now.

Thank you everyone for your help and encouragement.  It is much appreciated!

Whooo Hooo!  Hot damn!
That's great.  Yours was a tough one for sure.  The combination of landscape printing, images, subreports, and some pretty complex data that you are reporting on makes this one of the most difficult reports I've seen.

All that and you produced a final product that is visually appealing.

That "WIN" has too feel good for you.  This is one you won't soon forget I'm sure.
Sure glad you pushed through and didn't give up.

Thank you for you help, advice, encouragement, and not giving up on me.  This is as much your victory, too!  It is exciting working in Access, but sometimes it can really try you.  Totally worth it, though, I think.

Definitely! Reports aren't easy. You can do pretty much anything you want in them, but it can be a challenge sometimes. It took me a whole day to figure out how to print in Booklet format and get the page numbering right. That was my challenge. :)
