I am getting a message that says: The section width is
greater than the page width, and there are no items in the
additional space, so some pages may be blank. For example,
the report width may be wider than the page width.

Does anyone know what this means?

Pretty much what it says: You have created a Report; one or more
sections has its background - the dotted space upon which you can
place controls - set so that it is wider than the width of the paper
(less margins). For instance, if you're printing to 8.5x11 paper and
have not used File... Page Setup to change the margins, you have only
6.5" of usable space. If your form is wider than this, Access will
assume you want to print an extra blank page after each real page, to
print the excess "whitespace".
