Add a page break to a report

In reports, you use a page break control to mark where you want to start a new page within a section. For example, if you want a report's title page and introductory message printed on separate pages, place a page break in the report header after the controls that you want to appear on the title page and before the controls for the second page.

1. Open the report in Design view.
   
   
2. Click the Page Break tool in the toolbox.
   
   
3. Click the report where you want to place the page break. Place the page break above or below a control to avoid splitting data in that control.

   Microsoft Access marks the page break with a short dotted line on the left edge of the report.

   If you want each group or record in a report to start on a new page, set the ForceNewPage property of the group header, group footer, or detail section.
