add blank page for printing recto-verso

[nightwatchjohn]

I'm trying to add a standard (unbound) text to the back of every page, like on an invoice or so but can't get it to work. Any tips on this? Googled and yahood but it seems I'm a unique case

You would have to define how you create pages. I expect each page might be a invoice so you could try place a page break and text box or label below the page break. This would assume you have your printer set up to print duplex.

Hi Duane, I have a break on documentnumber so I have page header/footer, documentnumber header/footer and detaillines. I've tried putting a pagebreak in every section (one at a time) but no go. Any information I put in the page footer causes the info above to move up and eventually disappear. Any other suggestions? John.

I would put anything special in the Page Sections other than to hide them if the page is being printed on a backside.

Apparently each DocumentNumber creates its own page in your report. Does this print on only a single page? Do you have a DocumentNumber section footer? If so, what happens if you put a page break in the footer and also Force New Page after the section?

Hi Duane, a documentnumber can go beyond 1 page. I have a DocumentNumber section footer which prints the totals of the Document. But I also have a pagefooter that prints some company blabla (address, vat,...). I've expanded the document to the right and will try to assign a value with the text in a textbox. When putting the full text (which is in a label now) in a section, the whole section expands to the full length of the label (the text fills a whole page).

If your text should be on the back of every page, it might be easiest to run the paper through the printer twice.

I'm not sure why you would expand the document to the right. How large is the text you want to print on the back of every page? Can we assume you have your printer set to print both sides?

Something I read on the internet. Someone wanted to create a report with fields on 2 pages and the only solution was to expand the page to the right. But there were some problems when using different versions of Access.

It does work this way, only the problem of being limited to the height of the section remains.

Running it twice through the printer/copier is what they do now but the device has the option to print duplex.
