Smart form page protection problem

Question

Hello gurus,
I am having two line types for the header. To make them page protected, i have created a folder and put them into the folder and activated page protection check box.
But the problem it is printing awkwardly, line types are printing in the bottom of the page, whenever page break is happening.
if i remove page protection check box, it is printing nicely.
Kindly let me know how to rectify this.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi again,
Actually, within the Main part of table node, grouping several rows under page-break protected folder works just fine... It is just that when one starts putting the page-break protected folders in Header part the things go awry. I don't believe the fix for that will be easy at all.
But since your HEADER_TABLE1 does not really need a header part to achieve same layout, I'd try as follows:
1) create page-break protected folder under Main part of HEADER_TABLE1;  add an empty column of required width for %ROW2 and drag it under folder; create a new row type to hold %TEXT9 (just one column for the whole table width and no borders) and insert it before %ROW2; disable Header and Footer part for the table; re-position the table so its aligned to data table;
2) group the SAFETY_ITEM_ROW1 and MPO_DATA_ROW1 under page-break protected folder...
Then, is there actually a reason the HEADER_TABLE1 is split off in a separate sort event? If it could go into DATA_TABLE1 main part, all elements could be protected together. Even if there is reason, you still should be able to move the contents of HEADER_TABLE1 to DATA_TABLE1, and control their output using flag set via code nodes in DOKNR_TOP event and footer of DATA_TABLE  and reset each time header rows have been output.
True, you'd have to add that empty column to the table. But that inconvenience pales in comparison to having to extricate the remaining height of Main window out of Composer innards via implicit enhancement, and the pain of having to calculate output height of dynamic layout elements in form itself and doing explicit page-breaks.
Just make sure to disable all (unnecessary) table headers and footers.
Attached form illustrates protecting the header table and Data table separately, and I've been unable to break the layout no matter what I tried . Or did you try the folders in the Main part and did not succeed?
