Perforated report 3 per page

[Connie]

Hello all,

I am developing a report in Access 2002 that will be printed on a perforated
sheet that has 3 sections. Sections will not change in size because the data
is grouped appropriately in the query and there will never be more than one
record per person in the report. I am trying to match the fields to fit a
template.

The problem is that each of the 3 sections prints in a slightly different
location. In turn, I have tried moving the sections (header/footer/details
etc) increment by increment to no avail. I have tried adjusting the fields,
have used a subreport, deleted the header/footer...you name it. Nothing I
have tried will give me 3 matching sections on the template.

Am I missing something, or is there something I can do to resolve this?
Thanks for any help.

Connie

The article explains how to make up for the fact that Access sets aside
space for the Top Margin and Bottom Margin on the page, and explains how to
create a "spacer" between the records on the page so that each one fits in
exactly the same place on its one-third of the page.
