This is not as simple as I thought.
Using Print # I am outputting content for a text file. I wanted at certain
points to force a page break so I thought a Chr(12) for a form feed may
work.
If opened in notepad and printed it doesn't. In WordPad or Word it sort of
does but puts a blank line at the start of each new page.
I then thought of an RTF file but this requires a heap of other control and
formatting info. In Notepad it looks crap.
The requirement is that we are sending a list of orders to someone and they
will want to view on screen and print this out. The page break is to
separate orders.
I don't know what they have installed but feel safe in that they will have
the 3 apps above. Can't count on a browser so HTML is out. Text file seemed
the easiest.
It will be sent as an attachment to an email.
Any ideas.

End a print statement with a semicolon to prevent it going to a new line
after printing. See my example inline with your original post...

print #9, chr(12) would put a blank line at the top of each page
print #9, chr(12); would not (note the semicolon)

Jeff,
If this is a regular email attachment, you can output the report as
Snapshot. Your end used can download (or you can download for them)
from Microsoft the Access Snapshot viewer. This will provide
additional security, printing flexibility, and simplified support.
Your page breaks can be managed in the report design.
Or you could generate a pdf, which doesn't require your user to
download, install, and maintain another piece of software (if you think
pdf viewers are installed everywhere). Generating a pdf is usually as
simple as "print" with pdf being the target printer, using the adobe
driver ($), the paperport driver ($), or a free drive such as this one http://www.primopdf.com

Does anyone know how to create a set number of data lines per page when
creating an Access report that is ultimately being used to export as a
space-delimited text file?
OR, is it possible to set a page break so that the exported
space-delimited text file still contains the page break?

I recently wrote an ASP.NET app that used user controls. I produced a printer-friendly output form. One requirement was a pagebreak between one part of the form and another. I had no problem adding the style definition below in the <hr> tag (line tag) which was the last item in the page before the break:
<hr color="gray" size="1" style="PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always"> and when the form is printed it forces a page-break.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
