Purchase Order Layout
I am kind of stumped on how to make a report continue text on a second page
if it does not all fit on one page. I have a user that needs a report made that looks like an old form they use. I know how to make the report look the same height no matter how much data is on it. The problem I am having is if a text box has more data then the space allowed. I have to make the rest of the data continue on the next page. I need to keep the rest of the page with the same data as the first page. Any help would be great! Thanks -- Rick Toner |

Hi Scott,
I need to show the page layout on all pages. We are automating a PO form they have had for years. I need to put all of the info on how ever many pages there are. The only thing that would change is the content on both pages. I understand that I can put all of the content in the page header and footer except for the textbox that has the field I need. I just am not sure how to make the data go to the next page.

One method that ___might____ work for you is to add a group level that
contains all the information you want to repeat. Then you set the Repeat Section property of the group to Yes. You would probably group on the PO number and then the information that you don't need to repeat would go in the detail section. The above is speculation on my part, but it is something you can try. -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..

Hi John,
I have that part figured out. The part I am having problems with is a Memo field. The user can enter as much details as they want. I have to figure out a way to make the text that does not fit in the formatted field to move to the next page. I hope I am making since.

Ok, I have just tested this solution and it seems to work for me. My output
is Group Header contains: PO# Purchaser Total Amount and other fields Detail contains: Memo field If the memo field flows over one page, then the group header is reprinted at the top and the memo field continues with the details. Settings for Group Header (Sorting and Grouping dialog) Group on PO# Keep Together : No Group Header: Yes Group Footer: Yes Group header properties Keep Together: Yes Can Grow: Yes Repeat Section : Yes Detail: Can Grow: Yes Keep Together: No Group Footer: (no fields or controls in footer) Force New Page: After If that does not work for you, then I am stuck. -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..

Thanks John,
I will give it a shot in the next few weeks and let you know when I get to the point of making the report. -- Rick Toner "John Spencer" wrote: Ok, I have just tested this solution and it seems to work for me.
