I don't know if there's a way to do this but here's my question. I designed a report that shows a customers name, address, phone#, etc. When it appears on the screen(I am only interested in the screen not printing it yet), I have to adjust the size by hand. I would like to have it full size and without record selectors. Also I would like to limit the number of detail lines to say 15 and put buttons on it so I could press if I wanted to see more names. That's it! Can anyone help??
 
Bit of a bodge this one and will only work if your report detail rows are all going to be the same height! Firstly attach a macro to the OnOpen event of the report, action:maximise. Second format your report manually so that it displays 15 detail records at a time - just change the size of the detail section if you want the data to display over the full page or the page footer section if you want the data to display at the top of the page. Then let the user use the standard record selector buttons to see more records if they wish. Inelegant I know but very very simple! Robbo ;-)
