An application that includes complex forms with subforms has a print button
with click event executing docmd.Printout(acSelection). When subform content
lines increase and continue to the next page, some users of the application
find their page two doesn't continue the subform detail, but instead will
repeat subform content. Other users print outs are correctly continuing.

The users Microsoft Office versions are the same for each application
however the hardware is different.

Any ideas where I might look to find the reason for this error?
 
Typically, you will find that we recommend you print REPORTS, not FORMS.
Reports allow you to design and format the data to fit properly on a printed
page. Forms are for viewing, adding, and editing data.

Build a report to do what you want and add a button on your form that will
print the report.
 
While I appreciate and agree that a report is the recommended object for
printing, my application has been working well for several years. It is
still working for some users. It would be a significant investment of time
to reinvent the wheel with hundreds of customers in multiple sites around the
state.
