I've created a report from a Table containing the following fields:
Item (Primary Key), Category, Description and Cost.
My report shows 6 items per page .

What I would like to do is to show all items from one category and
then start another category on a next page (For example, 10 items in a
category would show 6 on the first page and the other 4 on the second.
The next category items would start on the following page (third),
and so on.
.... Is it possible to do this without having to create different
tables for each category ?

Thanks in advance
 
If you use the Grouping in your report definition and group by category, you
can set one of the properties of the group to start a new page after the
category.

Thanks Jeff,

But I am fairly New to Access and not sure what you mean by using the
Grouping in my Report Definition ... how do I do that ?
I am using Microsoft Access 2007.
 
Consider checking Access HELP for Grouping & Sorting in reports...
