Boaz,

That is the number of data blocks to print on each page before the 
subtotal section.  If your check only has 5 detail lines, then it will 
send 9 more data blocks before it prints the subtotal section of the report.

You can see how great this feature can be.

It only works with reports with subtotals and you can not mark the 
question that "deletes blank lines".

If the data block is 2 lines long and your check stub will hold 10 lines 
of detail then you set the forms down to -5.

If the data block is 1 lines long then set it to -10 to allocate the 
same 10 lines.

Welcome to the list.
