This article was previously published under Q168527 SUMMARY
Visual FoxPro has a limitation on the length of report bands. The maximum
length for a single band is the page length.
It is possible to create a report that simulates a detail band with a
length greater than the length of a single page. This requires setting up a
dummy data grouping on RECNO(<table with records repeating in the detail
band>), and creating what amounts to a larger "virtual" Detail Band
comprised of the RECNO() Group Header, the actual Detail Band, and the
RECNO() Group Footer. See the MORE INFORMATION section of this document for
details.
