Why last line prints on second page

[tjsmags]

I have a two page form. The last line of the first page now prints on the
top of the 2nd page. It USED TO print properly on the bottom of the first
page. I don't know what I changed to have it print at the top of the 2nd
page.

How do I get it to print back on the bottom of the first page?

I don't print forms, but I am thinking that either your margins changed or
your printer, so check your margins.

God Bless,

OK, so I've copied and pasted the form into a REPORT. The exact same thing
is happening...the last line is printing at the top of the 2nd page. Now how
do I alter this...it worked at some point!

Do you have a page break on the form?

 

[tjsmags]

I created a form first, and then a report (by copying and pasting from the
form) to try to get around my problem. But, both give me the same result…the
last line prints at the top of the 2nd page. This originally worked fine,
but once I changed the logo (i.e. picture) in the upper left corner it has
given me this problem.

I wrote down the PROPERTIES for the page header/detail/page footer of my
ORIGINAL form that printed okay. I also wrote down the entire form’s
property (i.e. width) and also the page setup (T/B/L/R margins and column
size). I tried changing the new form to match these same properties, but
when I would type in a value, say bottom margin change from .5†to .3â€, it
automatically changes the value back to .5â€.

How do I make this work?

Thanks.

First check your footer and header sections that they haven't changed. To
correct the problem, you could tighten up the form, to make the header,
detail, and/or footer section smaller.

I've compared the old file (with the old logo at the top) with the new file
(that I inserted a different logo...this is when it started printing the last
line on the top of the 2nd page).

The only difference I have in any measurement I thought to look at was the
BOTTOM MARGIN. The old report says .3, while the new one says .5. Everytime
I try to change the .5 to a .3 it automatically puts it back to .5.

I don't know what to do next.

These are the measurements I have:
form=7.9"
page header=1.175" height
detail=17.8333" height
page footer=.25" height

margins=
t=.3
b=.5
l=.3
r=.3

columns=
size=
w=7.9"
h=17.8333"
and there's a check mark in the 'same as detail' box

If you changed the logo and the problem began, then that is the problem.
Check the properties of the old logo against the new, Top, Left, and Height.
Then the new header height against the old. I suspect that when you changed
logos you probably changed the header height.

The image is 1.175" (h and w) for both old and new clipart/logo. The page
header is 1.175" for both old and new, as stated in my previous email.

I just need to know what I can do so that I am able to ADJUST the BOTTOM
margin...something must be too big that it won't let me change it to .3"
since it automatically changes back to .5".

I don't have an anawer. I am using version 2007 which allows a margin of
..25. I don't recall the limit of previous versions.

This is almost certainly a limit *of your printer driver*, not of Access. Some
printers just mechanically cannot print from edge to edge of the paper, and
the printer driver software (and therefore Access) obey the printer
restrictions.

Can you try a different printer, or reinstall the driver?

 

[tjsmags]

I'm sorry, but I have such a hard time believing it's my printer driver
seeing that it is fine on my older version of this form. The older version
has print margins of .3 all the way around...

For some reason it's forcing to keep .5" for the bottom margin, and I don't
know enough about Access to figure it out. It's got to be some simple
adjustment of something...

I don't want to read back all of the posts, but was the setting at .3
previously?

lol forget my last post.
