    The length of detail section of a report

    Hi All,
    I'm working on a report based on a query.
    And there seems something wrong because I could not add more content in the detail section in the report, and I have a lot of text to add...
    Do not know what's going wrong here. In print preview, it was just 2 pages.
    I attached a picture. In the picture I could not pull the report foot any lower.


    Thanks in advance.

    The maximum length of the detail section in an Access report is 22 inches (55 cm). You will have to mess with using sub-reports - putting stuff in the header or footer or pushing the data out to Word. (or make your font size smaller!)

    Thanks Steve.
    I remember in Access 2003 you could make a report of about 4 pages.What makes them assume that a report could only have 2 pages
    That's very invonvenient...
