    Printing the entire contents of a text box when that would require an additional page

    I am preparing a monthly summary page containing a text box that has a high probability of having more data entered into it than can be shown on one page.

    Indeed, during testing, I have tried exactly that. All that prints when I File>Print is the single page with the text box showing exactly the data that shows on the spreadsheet/view.

    Is there a way I can force a second page with the remainder of the contents of the text box printed?

    Thanks,
    Al

    Well, it seems there is no easy answer to this or there would have been other responses by now. So, here's an idea.

    Next to the text box, put a command button. The code behind the command button is:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    What this does is create a text file that contains the text from the textbox. Then uses an old DOS command to print the text file.

    It's ugly, but it will work.

    Thanks, but since this report is for upper management, they;ll want it to retain the format and look of the original page.

    It looks like I'll have to use good old human intervention.
