Hi, you can use a scrollable grid 1) create a grid with 2 rows and 1 column2) place a table inside the first cell3) copy the same table in the second cell 4) on the first table (first cell) just keep the header of the table5) on the second table (second cell) just keep the detail row6) on the second table, set the page break to 0 (= no page break)7) on the second cell (from the grid) goto to Property > advanced > Overflow > scroll And that's it here an example

Thanks GLO_FR, this is a good solution. I have this working but ran into a problem.
 
When the table detail section expands wider than the page it creates a horizontal scroll. When users scrolls the data moves but the column headings do not. Column headers no longer relate to data underneath them.
 
I can add a scroll to the header section but then have two scrolls - not practical or visually appealing. 
 
Any idea how to overcome this issue?
 
Thanks, 
David
