Hi... I'm REALLY new to Access and I'm having trouble printing.

I want each form printed on a separate paper and Print Preview shows the
forms continuting one after another. Also, I have some text boxes will
vertical scroll bars so the entire content cannot be viewed with scrolling,
yet I want all the information to print.

How do I set it to print the entire content of each form together without
having two forms printing on a page together (though one form could be
continued onto a second page)???

Forms aren't really meant for printing. You should create a Report instead.

OH lol... well that would explain the trouble I'm having!!! I've never really
used this program before, so I am stumbling up the learning curve here. :p
Thanks for saving me some trouble... now I'm off to figure out how to do a
report. *scratches head in confuzzlement*

You can save a form as report. That will simplify things for you.
