    Having trouble printing 2 records per page?

    Hi Guys : )



    I am having trouble when trying to print the database (from the form) the first page has 2 entries on it and then the subsequent pages start to break and have 2 plus a little of the next entry and so on and it looks bad, I want to have it so every page just has 2 whole entries. I have attached pics of page 1 and 2 to show the issue. Any help on this would be so appreciated.

    Thanks

    you have to account for all measurements.
    make sure no fields can shrink,nor grow.
    the size of the paper and
    the size of the margins.

    I have fought this battle too, and it is frustrating to get them all correct.

    I would suggest create a report(you can copy those fields and the record source to the report). Much easier to control report settings then printing a form.

    Yes but first, if you are keeping this database for future, rename your objects with prefixes so you know what they are. Tables = tblName, Forms = frmName, Queries = qryName, Reports = rptName.

    There is an option in the Sorting and Grouping(right click inside the design of the report to see this option) that lets you keep the group together on one page, that will probably move any 3rd entry to the top of the next page.
