Hey Sergey,

Thank for setting me straight again. I keep getting side tracked so it

takes a minute to get back up to speed. I see now how I can accomplish this.

The grid I'm using has a lot of custom logic, formatting issues and active

events already in place. I think it is great that I can take the grid that

has already been altered for our specific needs and just drop it into a live

report.

The grid I'm using has its own printing methods. I plan on using these

methods to draw the grid onto the canvas. I have already applied the methods

you stated in past emails to adjust the size of a print part so a break will

fall on specific areas determined by the Item.
