You will find that one of the objects in the report is just a little bit two wide for one page, so it is printing the second page. This will happen even if the object that is two wide is not actually visible on the second page. It is just one of those things you have to play around with. Try widening the margins, or resizing some controls.

Can you reduce the width and/or length of your report by about 1/2 inch? Try it and see of the problem goes away. It's usually a result of the page being just a little too big to fit on the page. Margins (if they can be reduced) should also help determine if that's the problem. jc ...

Would Obviously they lost the manuals that came with Access 1, and unfortunately, I no longer have that version. So here's a couple of suggestions. If you're lucky enough to still have the sample database the came with it, NorthWest Traders, take a close look at it. You'll find that much of the "programming" is actually done via macros. Access macros are powerful and unlike macros like those in dBase. If you don't have this sample then perhaps you could find a book on Access 2 such as Access 2 for Dummies, Access 2 Programing for Dummies (don't let the "Dummies" name turn you off or fool you because they're certainly better than nothing), or Using Access 2 (Que). Although the Access interface has changed a bit from version 1, much of what is in these books will apply to 1, especially the macros - you'll just have to play with them. Good luck! Abb Naklie ...
