Hi, Plz note, My VBA is disabled for security reason.
I can use only Expression builder, Macros, Queries, Tables, Forms and Reports only.
------------------------------------------------
I have a form and I want to export that form as PDF, but I could not setup the page for that Form, so how can I make page setup for a form not report? When I export the form as PDF , the form appears broken parts with 4 pages :(
I know report has page setup but form it does not have.
plz help

Forms are not optimized for printing. Create a report and export that.

It is fairly easy to do this, open the form in design view and choose the save as report option. That might be all you need to do. If you have a tab form, you will need to convert that to a series of subreports or just paste the controls on the main form if they are all bound to the main RecordSource.
