>Now my page three is back. Actually, it never left. Here's the thing: If I print a range of records, I get no extra pages. But if I print just one of those records (from the middle of the range) having something in the memo, I get a third page with nothing on it but my new page footer. It did solve the other problem. As long as the page three never appears in the middle of a report, the extra page can be discarded just like an extraneous formfeed. But I still wonder why it happens.

sounds like a problem across a network (network default to pagefeed when finished, but the report isn't quite)
