SYMPTOMS
When you set a form or report section's height in the Print Setup dialog box under Item Size of the More option, the height of the form or report section does not change. The Print Setup Height setting is ignored, and the section remains at the height specified in the form or report section's Height property setting.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Open your form or report in Design view.
 * 2) Click the detail section and open the detail section's property sheet.
 * 3) Set the detail section's Height property to the number of inches or centimeters you want (the maximum setting is 22" or 55.873cm).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
