[AccessD] Sub-Reports and Paging

I can never tell whether I'm winning or losing an argument with myself.

Dear Rocky:
 
Perhaps you could put an invisible page break between each sub-report.  Then
in the OnOpen event of the report, Dcount the records in each of the eight
sub-reports and estimate the height of the sub-report from the sub-report's
report header plus the number of detail records.  Then make the page break
visible to separate the sub reports.
 
Of course since one of the fields in the detail record 'can grow' and does,
it's going to be an estimate at best.  Also, this means potentially a lot of
white space on a page. Nah, that won't really work well.  You need to know
where you are on the page during the printing of the sub-report and page
when it gets close to the bottom.
 
Maybe someone else has an idea.
 
With my very best regards for you and your family,

Dear List:
 
I have a report that consists of eight sub reports.  Each sub-report can be
of a different length.  Each sub-report has a report header with some
descriptive text.  
 
The problem is that the main report page breaks in odd places sometimes even
cutting a line of the subreport in half horizontally!
 
I can, of course, insert an invisible page break between each sub-report and
make it visible if I'm close to the bottom of the page.  But I don't know
how to know, during the printing of the sub-report, where I am on the main
report.
 
Anybody got any ideas?
 
MTIA,
