Two pages per record?????

[Bill]

Why might I be getting two pages per
recordsource record? The 1st page
is perfect, with a substantial portion
of the detail section being filled by
unbounded text boxes, which are
"filled" in the OnFormat for the Detail
section. The header and footer likewise
format perfectly.

On the second page, ONLY the page header
and page footer appear and are identical
to the 1st page. The footer contains the
same recordsource data as the first page.

There are exactly two pages for every
record returned by the underlying query.

Heights: Hdr 2.0
Det 5.5826
Ft 2.9167
--------
10.4993

top & bottom margins set to .25
page 8 1/2 x 11

Two or three of the text boxes have their
"Can Grow" properties set to YES, but
the printed page gives no evidence that
anything grew that would cause a page
overflow in the detail section.

I don't see the problem.... any ideas?

Chances are that the unprintable region of your printer is greater than
0.25".

Particularly with the bottom margin where the rollers have to be able to
push the page out, many printers require 0.5" or even 0.7" or more for the
bottom margin.

Of course, it could also be to do with the width rather than height.

Hi Allen,
I reduced the white space at the bottom of the
detail section as much as I could and the problem
went away. Strange though, as the footer section
continued to print exactly where I wanted it to,
which is within a 1/4" of the bottom of the page.
