MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2007Extra pages in form printing
I have a form that exceeds a single printed page. When it is printed extra pages are produced. The extra pages occur after the first printed page but before the rest of the page of the form is printed and another extra page after the rest of the page is printed. The extra pages contain the same background used in the form. In design view I've made sure to shorten up the background to be even with the footer but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestion on how to get rid of the extra pages in my printout? Thanks.  SignatureLinda I still do not understand why people print forms. Forms are used for displaying, adding, editing and deleting data. Not to be printed You can save a form as a report(using Save as) and add a button to the form to print that saved report. > I have a form that exceeds a single printed page.

For what it's worth, the reason you have the extra pages printing is because the width of your form plus the width of your margin settings is probably too wide for the paper you are trying to print on. I am only mentioning this because the same thing will happen in a report. The width of the detail section added to the width of your left and right margins, must be less than the width of your piece of paper. Having said that, I completely and whole heartedly agree with what Chris said: Forms are not designed to be printed, use a report! SignatureCJ -------------------- I blame the parents |
