large report

[I.H.]

Hi all,

I am working on a form that have some data.. the data I have are send to a
premade report. Practically I have alot of fields inside this form and
normally would fit in the page of the report, but I have to spread them on 2
pages. How can this be done? I have to make 2 sepparate forms to be able to
make two report pages?
==========================================
On the form I have a "print" button that takes me to the report page. The
code is something like this:

Private Sub btn_click_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btn_click

Dim MyWhereCondition As String

MyWhereCondition = "xxx= " & Me.xxx
MyWhereCondition = "xx= " & Me.xx
DoCmd.OpenReport " reportnamehere", acPreview, , MyWhereCondition

Exit_btn_click:
Exit Sub

Err_btn_click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btn_click

End Sub
=================================================

So when I pres the "print" button, I want somehow to be able to print the
data from the form that are spread on the two report pages.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
I.H.

Forms do not contain data. Tables contain the data and a
form can be used to interact with the data in a table.

Generally, a form is bound to a table/query and when you
edit that data in the form, the data needs to be saved back
to the table before a report can access the new/modified
record. If this is your situation, use a line of code
before opening the report:
If Me.Dirty THen Me.Dirty = False
If that's not relevant to your situation, please explain
what you are doing.

To get a page break in a report section, insert a Page Break
control from the tool box.

The thing was more simpler than I thought. I didn't understand whre the page
brakes and starts another one (Like Microsoft Word in Print Layout view).
Page brake should do, or I can track where the text goes on another page.
Thanks for the help.
