Hi all. I've just been handed a new project here and it's all involving Access (which I have had very little exposure to in the past).
The problem that I'm having is that the customer wants a new form put in as a "Bill Of Sale". Getting the values for this is no problem, but the bill of sale itself is around 12 pages long in Word, and I've run into the problem that Access will only let me make the actual report 1 to 1/12 pages of information before I hit the length limit on this.
If it was just tabular info that could keep on flowing I'd be fine, but there needs to be all the legal wording in there and it needs to be printed out in one go (the people that are working with the system are lucky to know how to turn a computer on, let alone print portions of something) so I'm stuck here wondering what to do?
I'm not sure that a report will do what I want, but if it won't, what other options should I look at?
