List box page break

I have a report that I am working on that has a list box. The
properties of this list box are set to "insert a page break at the end
of this list". But it doesn't work. Also, I find that I can't put
"fields" in a page footer. I seem to remember that I can put a text
box in the footer referencing the value of a field in the body of the
report(i.e. the text box in the body references a database field and
the footer text box references the body text box value) Any
suggestions? Thanks in advance. RonI found the answer to both items. I had one field that was set to "can
grow..." I unchecked this item and set the field size to accomodate the text
that would appear. This caused my page breaks to work properly. I also found
the format to refer to a field in the report to wit:
ReportItems!textboxname.value
