Went printing to invoice it each item goes on separate pages...

[Stephanie53]

When printing to Invoice/Quote/Order (reports in PDF) it takes each item and puts each item on each page ..thus wasting space.

Here is the following:



those three items are not listed together on the quote/order to be sent to customer..see bottom of this page and you can see how many pages it goes to..




how do i get it all on one page and only to coninue to another after this first page fills up?

Thank You in Advance

Try making the detail section of your report as small as possible.

Now make the section above the detail section smaller.
look at the report in Layout view to see how it will look when printed.

I find it easier to make changes in design view and stitch back to Layout view.

hmmmmm....

ok it looks great in all those views now...but when i tried to get it from within the order form when i have it to attach to an email its still coming up 2 pages like in post # 4

but it looks great if just open the report in form view - why is that? i dont care if it looks that way to us...but sending to the customer that one in email just doesnt look right lolol

Sorry Stephanie, I don't have an answer for this.

I have never send an e-mail from Access.

I had the same problem and my solution was to put the subreport into the report header rather than in the detail section. When you put it in the detail section, it wants to print one form for each record (item on your list/report).
Hope that helps.
