Report Header
Beau Tanner 
    
5 years ago
So, I am building custom reports for each of my forms, and I have discovered something rather annoying.

If I put a header on the page, it will always print at least (2) pages, even if there is very little information on the page.  But, if I take the header off, it prints as a single page.

Why does Access do this?

It's a page header so it will be put on every page regardless of how much information there is, the best way to combat that is to make your report the exact size or JUST under the size of your paper. If you want to print multiple per page, mathemetically figure out how big the report has to be to fit that many on your size of paper. If there's ANY information on page 2, you're getting a page header.

More than likely your page header is pushing the report over the maximum size of the paper. Try shrinking it down by the size of your page header.

I think that my header may have been too big.  I just took the header out, and put the information at the top of the page.

Yea, if you had a 3" header with letter paper, your report would need to be less than 8". That keeps you under the 11" size of the paper and should all fit on one piece. If you have a page footer or report header/footer you'd have to factor those into the 11" max size (assuming letter paper) as well.

Make sure you don't have Force New Page After Section ON, too.
