Pagination problem: Keep With Previous does not work when I include an Over

647 Views

Hello,

I am trying to create a table with a Header, repeating Transactions and a Footer. These components will be quite complex in the final form so I am using subforms rather than an actual table object.

I don't want the Footer subform to be left on a new page by itself, i.e. it should always be accompanied by at least one transaction. To make this happen I have ticked the "Keep With Previous" checkbox in the Pagination tab for the Footer subform. This works fine. I also want a trailer at the bottom of the page to say "Continued over page" when the form goes to a new page. I accomplish this by using the "Overflow Trailer" option in the subform that wraps the entire table. This works fine too.

However my problem is that I can't get both to work at the same time. When I use the "Overflow Trailer" it causes the "Keep With Previous" function to fail, i.e. the Footer is left on the new page by itself. I would appreciate any advice on how to get both of these functions working at the same time.

With footer set as "Keep with previous" and no "Overflow Trailer":

Page 1

Header

Transaction

...

Transaction

Page 2

Transaction (pulled across from previous page so footer is not on page alone)

Footer

With footer set as "Keep with previous" and "Overflow Trailer" on:

Page 1

Header

Transaction

...

Transaction

Continued next Page

Page 2

Footer (footer left on new page alone)
