Hello!

I'm using Access XP.
How does the page break work?

I put it into a reporta at the end of the first group-level, everything
works fine in the secrren, except for two thigs:
1- The last page appears in blank, 'cause the page break is at the end of
the first group level, every time access reaches the footer of the group it
inserts a page break, even in the last page... How to correct this?
2- The printed report does not include the page breaks on screen, it simply
prints everything together.

Please help!

Another thing: is there a way to activate/deactivate the page break using
VBA??
 
The Page Break control in the toolbox is mostly there for backwards
compatibility. Occassionally it is useful. You activate/deactivate it by
toggling its Visible property (even though the Intellisense does not know it
has a visible property).

Usually, it is easier to set the Force New Page property of the section.
With the report open in design view, select the grey bar representing the
group header secion. In the Properties box, under the Format tab, set Force
New Page to Before Section. The section starts on a new page.

It can be a matter of trial and error, but you may solve your blank last
page by setting Force New Page to Before Section for the group header rather
than setting the property for the group footer section.
