Hello All,
I have a data entry form that contains memo fields which have the "Can Grow" property set to yes. After data entry is completed the form is printed for each record. Normally the form prints correctly on 1 page per record. When the memo fields contain an unusually large amount of data however the form will stop printing on the first page after the first memo field and even though there are several regular text fields before the second memo field, these items all print on the second page along with the second memo field. So I end up with a 2 page report that is only half full on the first page. I assume Access cannot split a text or memo field between pages but why does it move everything below the first memo field to the second page when there is still room on the first page? I dont mind a report being 2 pages long but I would like the data to flow normally down the page. I suspect I need to change a property setting somewhere but not sure where to look. Any help appreciated.
P.S. I am printing the record from the form instead of a report in order to print only the current record. My form is filtered to the current record open for data entry, so I have a command button on the form to print the single record when completed.
