Hi

I am 'recycling' Mike Monette's question I found online (from 1997, long live the internet!!) about placing a page break onto a datawindow.

You may find his original post here - https://bit.ly/2UAZpbu

I'll copy and paste it here as well just so you don't need to hop out of here - 

I have a long (3 page) freeform datawindow with an external data
source.  All of the lines are unique (there are no groups).  PB sees
this as a single page report, and when I print the datawindow, PB has no
regard for where the last line on the page is; it cuts of the last line
and reprints it at the top of the next page.

I'm looking for a way to insert page breaks to control where paging
occurs when printing.
This sounds to me like it should be a simple requirement, but I'm
stumped.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Monette

I have the exact problem. The only difference is I populate my dw with a simple SELECT.

Please keep in mind, 
- it's a free form presentation (ONE row spans over many pages)
- there is no Grouping. One row has about 150 columns (it's a medical record)

How do I get PB to realize some column is about to be cut in half at the end of a page and place a page
 break so that the said column would be printed in whole on a new page?

Right now, I just manually move those columns downward so they can be printed on a new page. 

Although it look nice on the printout, it looks silly at runtime as this dw looks like it's not evenly spaced out.

At any rate, if any of you could provide a solution to this, it'd greatly appreciated.

Thank you
