Form 4 pages long?

[ResTech]

Is is possible to create a form that is 4 pages in length? After info is entered in first two pages I would like to print out all 4 pages to pass on to another person.

Try it - else explain what the problem is, (who can 2 pages become 4 pages?).

I have put 2 pages of info on my form and also some test data in my database but when I print my form I get copies of everything that has been entered.

Normally a report would be used for a paper copy.
Could you post a print screen of what you mean, (zip it)?

I have attached a screen print of the first page of my form that is used to collect data on the first two pages, the last two are used for write in and sign offs. We currently use an editable pdf.
Thanks.

Personally, I don't like scrolling and that's my biggest peeve regarding web forms. I am constantly scrolling so I would never make an Access form that requires scrolling (except a continuous form).

When you have a lot of data to present, it is best to organize it into logical groupings and place the groups on tab pages. It is easy to switch tabs. No scrolling is involved and the most important stuff is usually on the first tab and so the user may never need to look at the other tabs.

I am currently setting up a continuous form, I did begin setting it up on a tab control but that didn't seem user friendly either, I wasn't sure where to have the tab section sitting and where the "find record" and "print" buttons should go. When I am done with my continuous form I can easily create another tab control with my final form if time allows.
Thanks.

The picture you posted was not a continuous form. It was a single form.

I think I switched it after that, I've got almost 3 pages of info on my single form.

I don't have Word 2010 so I'll leave it for other members to help you.
Luck with your project.
