I wish to display a report which could be 50 pages or more and allow the user to block and print portions of the report. To do this I have used a text box for the displayed output, but I find that it quits midway through the report, apparently running into some limit on the quantity of data that can appear in a text box. Is there a way around this?

hi there..

the amount of data of a textbox is limited by the size of your memory (there is no explicit limit)...

but printing 50 ppages of info into a textbox doesn't seems to be the best solution.. I can't image the size of the scrollbar, not even how hard to find anything could be.. maybe there is a better solution??

Perhaps, you should try some CrystalReports or ActiveReports for your stuff

The TextBox control has a limit of 64K of memory
Try using a RichTextBox
