Hi, i used a break element and set type as page. if my detail band record shows more than 10 records then page breaks and move to next page . i.e $V{REPORT_COUNT}==10 i also created a text feild and gave print when expression is $V{REPORT_COUNT}==10?true:null .This is actually printing on the next page but i wanted to print it on that page itself. Any idea about the second questionas well . -Patrick
