It may be, but I need to automate the process so the text prints on the second page of a layout after the map. I am porting MB through VB in a custom application. The doc is actually created in code drawing information from a database. I have set up a custom button to open a "template" for which fields of the database the user would like to see in the report. Once the user selects the fields, I then want to open a layout, put the map and legend on one page and a report on the next. I have it all working except for getting the text into the second page. I thought maybe I was missing a way to put text into a new "blank" frame. Cameron "Doyle, Peter W" wrote: > Cameron, > > I have created a utility to do just that.
