    You could stretch out the height of the cells to force one customer per page.

    The 'customer' example I gave is a pretty simplified example. In reality, the report layout is pretty complex--a lot of data fields mixed in with plain text snippets, lines and so on. There wouldn't be room for the stretch you describe, I don't think. There's no way to do it in the report configuration?

      I'm not 100% about that. as far as stretching at the bottom, just have a filler row in the table at the bottom before the footer. Sure would be nice if it had a page break thing in the toolbox like MS Access Reports has :rolleyes:

        Jeff, This might help...http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251733(VS.80).aspx[^] about setting page breaks.

          OK, got it! A grouped list with a page break afterward does the trick: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251742(VS.80).aspx If all else fails, read the instructions ;-)

              I couldn't get that one to work like the list grouping. It must be the grouping that does the trick. In this case I used the table's primary key. I'll have to fiddle with this one later on when I've got some more time. (Time? You mean someday I may actually have TIME?)

                  Why are you not using Table or Matrix controls? I've had this problem in the past and using a Table makes it go away :-> OT: I took the "U" word out of the subject line since it can upset people around here. I'd recommend modifying your subject line :)

                    Originally he had a certain word in his subject line that would have gotten him flamed, and he took it out :)
