Long objects in reports.... HELP!!!!!!!

[deulyd]

Hi all,
I'm trying to add a pretty long object into my report... well what I want to do exactly is in my report I want to add RTF file in an RTF control but that RTF could contain many many pages. And Ms Access limit a report section at 22 inches. How can I do this?

Please help me on this one... I'm going crazy! lol

Thanks

I don't think this is possible with the controls you are using. You might want to try Stephen Leban's replacements at

Ok I tried it but how can I make the control pass 22 inches? The only object I know that can do that is the textbox with the CanGrow property set to true.

By the way... great link!

I wasn't sure if Stephen's control would work that is why I suggested you "try" it . Stephen is very active in the MS Access Public Report News Group. You could ask additional questions there (and then report back).

Where is the "MS Access Public Report News Group" you are talking about? Could you give me the link please.

I actually use Outlook Express to read and post. If you go off to MS NGs, don't forget to come back here.

I did not get an answer in the Microsoft Newsgroup... But by scrolling through other message boards. I found out that the best way to resolve that issue is to split my RTF control into multiple pages and store them into a temporary table in different records. Then display in my RTF in the report in multiple records. I don't know if it's the best way I can do it but... That's the only Work around that I found.

Thanks Duane
