I have two reports based on the same query but with different information being displayed in the reports. Report 1 is fine, It provides me with one report listing all the records. The second generates the same number of report copies as the number of records. I have tried the properties of the details pain and they are identical asfar as I can see on both reports. Anyone got any ideas?
 
There are times that a form or report becomes corrupt and cannot be fixed or even the problem be identified. I have found when strange happenings like you describe take place it is easier to delete the report and make a new one. If the first one is running fine then copy and rename it. Then change the controls on the Detail line.

Much easier than trying to debug something that you are describing.

Had a feeling I was heaing down that route - just trying to avoid facing up to it I guess! The Report took several hours to produce since it has a fairly complex layout and I desperately wanted to avoid doing it all over again!

Oh well - its good practise for an access newbie I guess!
 
Don't delete it. Just rename it. Use it as a reference.

Try to use the other report that is working as a starting point. Then just make the changes that are necessary.
