I have an access database with approximately thirty tables in it. A user can have personal Information in some / all of the screens and maybe more than one record in each.

I want to print out all the information that relates to each user (each table is related to a main table by a Unique ref number).

I was thinking about making a query for each table to pull out the relevant information, then printing all the report that had information in.

I have had a test run on a couple of tables but looks really bad the way that there is a load of wasted space. Is there anyway to combine all these reports to print a nicer looking one?

I have tried to publish to word and looks ok with some formatting, but i can conditionally publish these?! I have tried a merge but when you need display say three records it shows one set of results over three letters rather than in a table as required.

Can any one suggest a way i can conditionally merge on queries to a word doc in a table format?!

Thanks in advance

I am nearing completion of my reports

Everything is going well but the only thing that looks bad is that when a report gets splits over two pages it there anyway to keep the report together on next page rather than splitting it up ?

Cheers

 
There are properties that you can set to keep sections together.
