Hi,

I have developed a number of reports using the acubench report writer and they work well except for one thing. Page formatting. When I view these reports using the web browser and or the print preview from the web browser the page breaks are all screwed up. It doesn't seem to know where the end of each page is. it just continues to display the report continusouly accross many pages (ie no page breaks). I have tried the skip after and before which works for groups etc but if the detail line goes over a page (A4 landscape) then the report generates another header but no page break, or at least none recognised by internet explorer. What is the solution here? in the old days it was a case of counting the lines and issuing a write after page statement, which generated a form feed. How do you accomplish this in the report writer. Or do I have to use the custom print template do acheive this and if so does anyone have a sample print template that I could use/modify to tell internet explorer what to do with it self.

Regards

    I have got this from the Acubench developer:

    This is the first time I have come across such a incident where the page breaks are being ignored. No straight answers here but it is most
    Probably something the customer is doing with his printer settings/printer since this is not a common occurrence. We would need to reproduce inhouse to have a look at it.


    So, I guess you should take it to Tech support.
