Printing record fields on separate pages

[JKarchner]

Is there any way to have the first half of a record's fields print on one
page and the second half print on a second page. I can not just space out
the fields on the design view, because the length of the data in the field's
varies from record to record. If anyone can help me with this problem it
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Try place a page break control where you want it within the detail section.

Thank you, that kind of worked, but i should have explained a little better.
Is it possible to set up a page break through conditions, such that if the
field was going to be partway on the next page, the entire field would be
moved to the next page?

Do you want to split a single text box between two pages? If so, I'm not
sure how this can be done.

 

[JKarchner]

No i don't want to split a single text box to two pages, that is done
automatically for me. I would like to have the text box be moved to the next
page if it is going to be split. The last two fields that i have are memo
fields, so they can tend to run long. When they approach the end of the
page, it is handle like a word document and the writing just continues on the
next page. I would prefer it if the whole field (text box) was moved to the
next page. But this does not happen with every record, and thats why i was
looking for some kind of condition to use with the page break. That seems
like the most logical way to go about this problem. Thank you for your help.

You might be able to create multiple detail sections by adding Group Footers
based on your primary key. Place your expanding text box in one of the
footers and set the property to Keep the section together.

how would i go about doing this?

You add group levels in your sorting and grouping dialog based on your
primary/unique value in your record source. If you display the headers and
footers in these extra levels, the create new detail sections which you can
attempt to "keep together".

 

[JKarchner]

I think i understand how to group them, however there is a problem. I am not
given the option to group those fields together. They do not appear in the
drop down menu.

Thank you very much that work better than i could ever hoped for... but now
i have a new question. i created a new header section also, for the company
which displays the company name and the record number of that company at the
top of each page. my question is how would i set up it so that if the
company has two pages, on the second page "(continued)" would be displayed
next to the company name?

Again thank you for all of your help.

I'm not sure. Consider googling on "Access report continued".
