I am trying to develop an accounting application that will print out 3-part checks. The 2 stubs will display the same information, but the stubs may overflow to multiple pages. How do I make the stubs stay a specified height and still overflow to the next pages?

Keep together might be what you're looking for...
This is dependent upon how you're creating these.
You have a new page before and after option, perhaps this might help, otherwise share some specifics.
Why would a stub overflow to multiple pages if it's the same information, I'd think it might overflow to another page, but not multiple???
If you mean that it overflows to another page, not multiple, then keep together might help, though it's probably already set, you may require a subreport, but it's hard to tell at this stage.

OK, maybe I need to get a little more specific. I need a check printed out as Stub-Check-Stub. The two stubs hold the same information (identical). If the amount of information on the stub is longer than the space allocated (about 3.5"
then it needs to go to a new page. Continuing the information on the next stubs and voiding the check on that page. This could continue for several pages. I have already setup the stubs as subreports. The bottom stub works correctly and I can even reproduce the check with the void message. But if I set the top stub to not grow, it will not continue printing on the next pages. I have thought about only setting up one subreport on the bottom and using variables to copy the information to the top, but that seems like an awful lot of work for something that must be a somewhat common occurance. I have created a stand-alone VB.net class that can generate a check, but we want to standardize on CR.
