You can use the ForceNewPage property to specify whether form sections (header, detail, footer) or report sections (header, detail, footer) print on a separate page, rather than on the current page. For example, you may have designed the last page of a report as an order form. If the report footer's ForceNewPage property is set to Before Section, the order form is always printed on a new page.
Note The ForceNewPage property does not apply to page headers or page footers.
Setting
The ForceNewPage property uses the following settings.

| After Section | 2 | The section immediately following the current section is printed at the top of a new page. |
