>>>I just tried some tests and I was not able to get this to work the way you want in the header, footer or detail band without using memo fields set to stretch with overflow. You might be able to send a page eject command to the printer at a specific point to simulate what you want. There have been some threads here recently on that, but I couldn't do the search to find it.

Maybe it could handle this easily. BTW, how will you do this in HTML from Foxpro? Just curious as I have a couple similar needs myself...

Crystal Reports was a consideration I made, but due to timescales involved in Training etc. I decided to do it in HTML.

I've had to do the majority of it by code, basically create the report file in HTML format and then let the user view the finished file - it has helped in a way because a lot of my reports had to be flexible, so dynamically creating them made some things easier.
