Hello

Is there a way to extend the 22" limit on the detail section's length.

The detail section in my report is 3 pages long for each record. I am using
2 pagebreak controls to create the 3 pages.

The last page is too short to fit the layout that i would like to create.

Does anyone know of a way to extend the limits of the detail section so i
can fit 3 full page layouts in the detail section for each record.

thank you
 
You cannot extend the 22" width/height, but you can work around it quite
easily.

In report design view, open the Sorting And Grouping box. Select your
primary key field in this box, and set Yes for Group Header and for Group
Footer.

You now have 3 sections for every record (because it's the primary key), and
each section can be up to 22" tall. That gives you up to 66" in total. If
you need more sections, create another group header and footer on the
primary key (by selecting it again on the next row in Sorting'n'Grouping.)
