What we need to do is to limit the amount of details lines and if those detail lines goes over 6 lines, have the remaining lines go to another page.

The layout for one page is:

Header
Detail
Footer

Are detail lines distinct sections based on distinct records? If so, you could group them and have a selective Next Page command based on a running total.

You can also do it with variables, but running totals are easy to create.

There is also LENGTH, which can be applied to a single field.
