Page Breaks

[Talayoe]

Hello all, I have a report that I need to print every morning. This report was setup to print with (3) different headers. Active Orders, Orders on Hold and Orders Outside. These print fine, but they print one after another which causes me some ... grief. What I would like to do is have the Orders on hold and Orders outside forced to a new page, since they never have taken entire page and I often end up with three or four lines on the same page as the Active Orders...which looks odd. "=IIf([P]="Y","Jobs on HOLD",IIf([P]="Z","Outside",IIf([P]="W","Active Orders")))" is what my current setup looks like under the P Header Section. Any help would be super!

It's been a while since I've designed a report but I recall that I would often create multiple subreports and then insert them into a main type report where the main report only contained the unique identity record number for linking all the subreports (so the "where" clause could also be used when opening the report). I'd uncheck the 'allow grow' and 'allow shrink' properties on the subreport and size each to fit in specific places or take up an entire page. I don't know if this helps for your situation but it made things easier for showing data in specific places on a report.

Hello. I gave this a good bash and couldn't get it to do quite what I was wanting (seemed to always land me with a complete extra page of nothingness). I may be able to do this with a little bit of coding... more specifically if there was a way that I can add a page break 'command line' (not just pushing the 'insert page break') into the code for the particular area where I want the break, maybe then I can get it done? Maybe I am just fighting a battle that needs not be fought? Off handedly, why is it that on this forum you cannot create paragraphs. It looks quite messy to have long sentences because of what seems to be an 'enter lock' of sorts... strikes me as strange.
