i want to print a bill in the preprinted paper. in  this paper client's logo and lines and boxes are already printed. i handled the report by avoiding "Can grow" property for the products column and using the formula in "Next Page After" in details section, to print the products with in the given area in the paper.

in the "Next Page After", i wrote a formula like this,
if(RecordNumber = 30)
then true
else false.

but now my clients asking me to print the products details fully. if i am giving "Can grow" property means, then i am not able to handle the printing with the given area.

but now i need to count the "line number", please help me, how to count the line numbers (not the record numbers).

thanks in advance,
Karthik K

thank u for ur reply.

actually what i want is, any way to print or calculate line number (not the record number).

You can create a formula that calculates the number of lines required for the description field - if your print area is 40 characters and the description is 90 characters then the value would be 3 - add this to a stored variable for each record to get line count.  You would then go to the next page when that number exceeds a certain amount.
