Records per Page in a Report

[JackA]

Hi there,

I am trying to put a page break/set the number of records per page for my report.

I have two group headings (a and b) and the details section.

I would like the page break to occur after there has been 2 records in the "group heading b" and for those records of "group headings of b", all of the details sections are complete.

i.e. In the diagram attached, where the green arrow is. I have also included a diagram for the design view too.

I have tried using this formula below with a text box in "group heading b". However when it creates the pagebreak, only one of the records occurs in the details section (not all 4).

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)

If [txtcounter] Mod 2 = 0 Then
Me.Detail.ForceNewPage = 2
Else
Me.Detail.ForceNewPage = 0
End If

End Sub

Can anyone help?

Here's an additional reference for conditional page breaks:

I have tried the links you sent but nothing helped :S

It seems like mine is specific problem.

Using the formula I have mentioned already, is there any way I can adapt it to forcepagebreak before mod=3, instead of when mod =2 ?

If you put the page break after all the data in your form it should work as you want. The mod function returns the remaining value after you have divided by the number in the formula so in your case if the record number (second record) mod 2 = 0 then the page break is visible. What exactly 'isn't working' about it? is the first page showing one record then every page after that showing 2?

Thanks for your response.

Please see the images that I originally attached to explain my problem further.

As you can see I have a group header and a detail section. For every group header record, 4 sub records are produced in the detail section.

I would like the page break to occur after there have been two records in the group header section (and all of their sub records are produced).

However, adding the page break as described before (i.e. textbox in group header with running sum and event in group header that creates pagebreak after "2") does not create the desired effect. Instead it creates the following,

1 record in group header with its 4 sub records in detail
1 record in group header with 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break

1 record in group header with its 4 sub records in detail
1 record in group header with 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break + 1 sub record + page break

etc

Can you post a sample database?
