Syntax

expression   A variable that represents a Report object.

Remarks

For reports, the Top property setting is the amount the current section is offset from the top of the page. This property setting is expressed in twips. You can use this property to specify how far down the page you want a section to print in the section's Format event procedure.

Example

The following example checks the Top property setting for the current report. If the value is less than the minimum margin setting, the NextRecord and PrintSection properties are set to False. The section doesn't advance to the next record, and the next section isn't printed.

  Sub Detail1_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Const conTopMargin = 1880
' Don't advance to next record or print next section
' if Top property setting is less than 1880 twips.
    If Me.Top < conTopMargin Then
        Me.NextRecord = False
        Me.PrintSection = False
    End If
End Sub
