Thanks to you both!

Thanks Madawc, I havn't managed to fing the A5 option though. I've tried a number of different printers (including PDF writer) but I only ever get to change margins, I use CR8.5, do you? Thanks again.

Hi there, I have an Access database that I am attempting to report on. Each individual row of the table should represent a single page on CR. I'm having problems arranging this but i'm sure it must be easy if you know how(??) Also, if the above is possible, is there then a way to make each...

Thanks to both of you

Thanks for replying Nowell, There are approx. 50 concurrent users of the front end app and the data is v.v.important to us. I was hoping that there woul be some kind of general rule along the lines of 'schedule a backup every "X" number of transactions' ??

Thankyou both for the responses. That sounds like a good idea so i'll give it a go. I'm assume i'll need to create an extra group section 1 level up and suppress the original group values to get this to appear correctly? Please let me know if i've got the wrong end of the stick!! Thanks again

Hi there, In my group header I have a formula field. Is it possible to combine 2 of the results under one group header. eg if I have 10 results under group 'a' and 5 under group 'b' can I combine them to make group 'c' with 15 records?? Thanks for your time
