Force new page after 30 records interval (1 Viewer)

[azzurri]

How do I force new page after each set of 30 records?

Thanking in advance.

Put an invisible text box with the value set to 1 in your detail section. Set its property to running sum. From the OnPrint event, check for the value and accordingly force the new page: If Me.Controls("YourControlName") \ 30 = 0 then ForceSectionToNewPage ("NameOfYourReport", acGroupLevel1Header)
NB acGroupLevel1Header if your details are in group level 1
acGroupLevel2Header if your details are in group level 2
9 if your details are in group level 3
etc. See Access help about the Section property

Function ForceSectionToNewPage(StrReportName As String, iCurrentGroupHeader As Integer)


Dim sHeight As Single
Dim I As Integer
Dim PrtMipString As str_PRTMIP
Dim PM As type_PRTMIP
Dim R As Report


On Error GoTo Ooops


Set R = Reports(StrReportName)
PrtMipString.strRGB = R.PrtMip
LSet PM = PrtMipString


With R                'Summing reports and page sections heights
    sHeight = PM.yTopMargin


    For I = 1 To iCurrentGroupHeader
        sHeight = sHeight + .Section(I * 2 + 1).Height
    Next I
    

    If (.top > (sHeight + 5)) And (.Page <> 1) Then
        .MoveLayout = True
        .PrintSection = False
        .NextRecord = False
    End If
End With


ExitForceSectionToNewPage:
StrReportName = ""
Set R = Nothing
Exit Function


Ooops:
    DoCmd.Beep
    DoCmd.Echo True
    DoCmd.Hourglass False
    MsgBox "Um erro aconteceu na função ForceSectionToNewPage: " & Error$
    Resume ExitForceSectionToNewPage
End Function

I'd eagerly tried applying your code in my report, but when running the reprot a message appear as "Compile error User -defined type not defined" and when checking the code, the line
Dim PrtMipString As str_PRTMIP is highlighted in yellow.

Is there something wrong?

Sorry, I forgot to provide the declarations to use along with the PrtMip property:

Type str_PRTMIP
    strRGB As String * 28
End Type
Type type_PRTMIP
    xLeftMargin As Long
    yTopMargin As Long
    xRightMargin As Long
    yBotMargin As Long
    fDataOnly As Long
    xWidth As Long
    yHeight As Long
    fDefaultSize As Long
    cxColumns As Long
    yColumnSpacing As Long
    xRowSpacing As Long
    rItemLayout As Long
    fFastPrint As Long
    fDatasheet As Long
End Type

I had tried but there is 32 record appearing on 1st page,this is not I intend to achieve, I need to fix a maximum 30 record per page, in my case it should be 1st page 30 & 2nd page the remaining two record.

Zip and email me your DB if it is not too big. Make sure to indicate the report in question

Hi. I'm afraid I don't have much time right now.
But I'll set up something this week-end.
