Hi,
I have developed an application with access that prints reports onclick of a
button.The pages are printed as snapshot .The report has large number of
fields that it pulls while printing.It does print out all the pages but it
has couple of blank pages after each page.Before printing it always gives a
warning that says:'the section width is greater than the page width and there
are no items in the additional space,so some pages may be blank.The report
width may be wider than the page width.'

Can you please help me solve this problem?
 
Double check two things.
First, look at the top of the report in design view and check on the width
of the report (not just the data boxes). If, for example, your report is
portrait, the width of your report is at 8", the page setup 'margins' must be
no more than 1/2" total (left + right). In this case, I normally set the
report width to 7.8 or 7.9 just to make sure.

Hope this helps

It means you have one (or several) controls (with blank space) that
cause the width of the page to exceed that of the paper used
(factoring the width of the margins).

Either make the margins smaller, or make the report width smaller.
 
Thanks My problem is solved!!
