[AccessD] 4up postcard "labels" - overflow?

Kati

...can't tell from the snapshots but most report "overflow" errors I've seen
come from some control in the detail section with "can grow" set to on and
something is making it expand the detail section beyond Access' default
limits for a page size ...iirc that's 22 inches ...could be a long vertical
line as well ...maybe that will give you a point to start looking ...sorry I
can't help more :(

I've added it up several times, and the total does match 8.5x11 landscape.

> (4) shows error number two - sort by (I've tried this with sorting and not
sorting)
> (5) I click on cancel instead of finish and see what it looks like and
this is wrong. It should be two across by two down, looking more like the
mockup I made in Word Perfect (6)
