If it just has Summary and Sub-summary parts then it won't show data from all records, just summarise them. It also may not summarise correctly / as expected if the records are not Sorted appropriately. As David said, multiple pages might also be a cause. Maybe one of the Layout parts is set to perform a page break. Badly set margins or strange page setup sizes may also cause data to go to the next page or missing off the edge. Is the Layout using the fields you think it is. It can be easy to mistakenly use fields via a Relationship rather then directly, for example. Helpful Harry :o)
