>>I have a report which it's expression is a memo field from a table. the memo field data can get to 2 pages in length and in the rpt designer when Idrag the detail bar lower and attempt a preview, I get "detail band is too large to fit on page" It looks like the report does not want to span 2 pages!

>Tim I have a memo field just like that on one of my reports. I put the memo field into the footer (as it was remarks that they wanted printed after the detail). I told it to Stretch With Over Flow and Float (so it comes after the detail) and it crosses pages no problem.

I put it in the footer like you suggested but it made no difference.
Care to see the rpt and the dbf with the memo?
