Need Help in paging...

| Hi, I think I may sound stupid but I need some help in the paging area. I'm now writing a medical report program hence this report will consist of two parts, the patient's information and the report content.
My problem arise when my report content might require more than one page. I do not know how to do it. As in my report content is a memo field in the table hence when load in the report it will lengthen all the way. Is there a way where i can chop it and r
esume in another page and also I wanted all the informationto remain the same like the layout and the patient info etc. What I need is a paging method where the report knows where to cut it sort and resume on the other page. Can help? Thanks.
Regards,
Mickey

Well, I'm not sure what you want exactly, but you could reduce the size of
your StreamFrame, which would trigger the rendering of a new page when it
reaches the end of it.
Depending on what you want to do, maybe it would be better if you'd use
either the beginNewFrame() method or the beginNewFrame property. Take a
look at those two in the help.

This is a weekness of the report designer. About all I can suggest is
two separate reports.

| Forget what I said, I reread your question and realized that my solution
won't work. It won't split a memo field in two. Sorry. I've never really
been able to do that...

1 way is to use a temp table for the content.
add 1 record for each line in the memo field.
Just an idea that I have used before,

| Hi everyone, I found a solution, like what Marc had said just reduce the size of the steamframe to the size of the text, once it is over flow, it will go to the second page with all the templates retains. :) Cheers Thanks for all the help. Very grateful t
o you guys. I cant imagine me start programming dbase only after a week or two learning it :)
