Experts,

I have done many subform inside main form and produce a report with the combination of subreport to main report. All in one page.

Today ironically, I tried to do the same but shockingly , the system seemed to think that each record from the subform (continuous form) must have a page by itself. So if I have three entries in the subform, three report pages resulted with all three writeup. If four entries, four pages of all entries resulted.

I tried to change the Record Source from table to Query ,but the result is the same.
Anybody knows the problem, I appreciate

Are you grouping the records? Is there a group header or footer? You might consider posting a small copy of your db, so we can help you troubleshoot it.

Try moving the subreport(s) from the detail section to the header (or footer) of your main report.

Or use your main report has a 'holding container' with no data and no record source.
Put all data into the subreports - they should then be fine in the detail hopefully

Gentlemen,

Thankyou for your responses, but actually I found the problem was totally mine. i tried for a fast job copied a report from another file and linked it with the subform. So I guess that system dont see the link. Then I started the report from the base and it went ok.

Thankyou again.
