Re:Multiple page print with QR3.5
Josh
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
The records I am trying to print, each have more fields than will fit on one
page. It's a database with questionaire info so there are lots of fields per
record. If I squeeze the font down and print them closely, they still cover
two sides of an A4 sheet. My thought was to create a large detail band with
all the fields in it and then just allow the printer to print two sheets for
each record. The problem is, although all is displayed OK on the preview
screen, the printer will only print one sheet per record so I only get half
the fields printed. I'm OK printing multiple records if one or more records
fit on a sheet - getting one record to print on two sheets is where I get
stuck.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - I've run out.
Thanks
Clinton
