This is an FMP 6x problem which needs addresing while we convert to 7/8. We have an invoice file which utilizes a line items portal. We had to increase the layout to its maximum size to accomodate large orders (300+ lines). When we print, the portal lines print over the footer and successive headers and footers. Cutting the layout back to 200 lines will clear this.

This has happened in other layouts in other files which we chalked up to corruption, replaces with a new layout and all was fine.

Any idea what is happening?

Printing portals across page breaks is frequently troublesome. It is easier to go to the related Line Items, and use a sub-summary report from there.

It just occured to me that the problem in the other file (not the invoice) was with repeating fields, not a portal, but the symptoms were the same.

I suppose I could add the invoice header and footer information to a line items layout as related fields leaving the lines as the body.

That's the idea.
