Mike,

You can a get the detail band to cross pages, the problem is that the report designer doesn't handel; that situation gracefully. Page numbers can get screwed up adn footers and ehaders can also get messed up.

As for a reference to the form that called the report all you need to do is;

* Someform method
LOCAL loForm
loForm = Thisform
REPORT FORM Whatever TO PRINT

Within the report you can use loForm.Method() to call a method of the form. Reports can see lcoal and private variables of the method that called the report.
