Hi Everyone!
I have a client who lives in the MSAccess universe. Okay, maybe that is a
stretch, but they are very accustomed to the manner in which MSAccess can
automatically generate a heading on each page of a report when the report
is printed. I suppose this is true for most report generators, but they
keep asking me, "If Access can do it, why can't you do it in the
Web?" Aarrgghh!!
On to the question: Has anyone found a way to programmatically identify
where a page break would occur during printing?
The pages are built using server-side scripting so the solution can be
either server-side or client-side.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
P.S. I have exhausted both reasons and my patience trying to explain to
the client why printing 5 page web reports to take to a meeting is just
plain silly. A paper-less society...how I long for thee.
