Hi Ken If you ever decide to indeed rebuild that report, You should have look at www.report-sculptor.com
With RS you can build that kind of report in WYSIWYG mode using FORM DESIGNER. No overlaping of controls, print when etc. You have total control over page creation without Having to play tricks on FRX. See one of the samples in RS Demo where I have built our local Income Tax form as for starting idea; http://www.report-sculptor.com/images/stories/reportsculptor/CreateFromScrat chOrFillUpPreprintedForm.tif RS is well intgrated with XFRX (does XFRX integration behind the scenes) so you can easily export your Report to word file as well, provided you own licence to XFRX.

The boxes allow the use of >"Stretch with overflow" while labels don't. You might be right, and it would be interesting to find out. Unfortunately, it would require reworking the entire report. This report has several hundred controls in total, with between 100 and 200 on a page. There are four pages, with all the controls stacked on top of each other and output controlled by "page_no =" Print When statements. I have to modify it by searching for and tweaking records in the .frx table; I can't do it visually. So at this point it's much less work to create yet another version by doing that than it would be to rework the report. Thanks, though.
