a lot of fields on a report

Hi all,
i need to put a lot of field on a report so i need the report to be more then
one page.

Have i to make the detailband height more tall so it go on two pages or there is
another way to do it?

The Detailband can only be up to one page high, as far as I know. The 
solution is to create a "fake" group and use the Headerband and
Footerband 
to each be one page high. That would give you up to 3 pages per record 
(Headerband, Detailband, Footerband). If that is still not enough, you can 
create additional groups (even using the same group by value) - each group 
then gives you another Headerband and Footerband.

My biggest report using this technique has 8 groups = 16 different pages

Hope this helps.
