Proper Report With Page Breaks????

[spam33]

Ok,

What I have is a contacts database with info about customers. One particular field that this db stores is sex (male/female/other). I have created a report that will sort and list all my contacts and group them by their sex. But, I want to add a page break between each group (for example, males on one page, females on a 2nd, and so on).

How can I set up my report so it will insert this page break? Thanks for the help.

Hi Cameron,

Oh, I just can't help myself!!! Male, Female & Other? Well, we DO live in a new world, I guess!! I suppose I'll have to modify my Value Lists before long also!

To answer your question, yes you can split Gender on a report. Just create a Sub-Summary (Layout > Part Setup), select your Gender field, and choose Page Break after every one occurance, Trailing. Then place your Gender field on this newly created sub-summary. Be sure to sort your report on Gender or sub-summaries don't work right. The report will automatically list first female, male then other

That did the trick, thanks so much.

Yeah, I know the "other" heading is kind of funny, I guess it should be something like "Don't want to reveal". Oh well, thanks again.

Hi Cameron,

And I was just getting ready to ask if you had many of them "Others"
