Forms into Reports

[Guest]

HI,

I have 5 separate forms that I want to integrate to produce one SINGLE report (in 5 pages).

What I have done is setup a big report and I am putting (copy pasting) the forms one under another to produce a long report - but when I get to 51cm long report - no matter what page size I set the page to be it will not let me grow downwards.
How can I put all forms to produce 1 only report ?
Or basically how can I generate a report long enough to print 5 pages on the same client with diffrent info pulled out from diffrent tables ?

Cheers
Paula

Try one report with each form as subreports.
Hope this helps.

The max length you are referring to is the maximum length
for the page layout. however each of your subreports on
the main report should take up only a few tenth of an inch
on the main report, you set the can grow to yes and in the
printed report it will expand as much as needed.
you may also set the can grow for the detail band of the
main report to yes.
I'll be out of touch for the next couple of weeks so
please post back (with a new thread) if further help is
needed.
Hope this helps.
