My log report has Depth Units Page 1 set to 15. However, I need to set the remaining pages to be 19' to match a field log.
Thank you,
Hi Pah,
There is not a property to set the number of feet shown on pg2 +. The number of feet on page one sets the scale and all of the rest of the pages adhere to that. The only way to show a different number of feet on the page 2 + is if the body height on page 2 is greater, but it would still adhere to the scale set on page 1. For example lets say the body height of page 1 is 7 inches and you set the depth units page 1 to 35. then 1 inch = 5 feet. If your body height changes on page 2 + (which would mean part of the header of footer would disappear for page 2 +) Then it would show 40 ft on page 2 + because if 1 inch = 5ft then a page 2 with a body height of 8 would show 40 feet. So technically you could figure out your current scale for page 1 and set the body height for page 2 to give you 19 feet, but something would have to be removed on page 2 + (ie some of the header or footer information, depending on your custom reports).
The properties are set in the report properties. Before you try to make any edits I suggest you make a copy of your report. From report design goto file ...copy page ..make a copy of the report and only edit the copy until you get it to look the way you want. The log report design tutorial goes through some of the properties I have discussed.
Here is help topic on depth units page 1 report property:
This property controls the number of depth units on the first log page.
If the body height is the same on page 1 and page 2 and subsequent pages, then this is also the number of depth units on all other pages. Otherwise, this value sets the log scale and the report calculates the depth units on page 2 and subsequent pages from this value.
For example, you have set the Depth Units Page 1 property to 30 and the body height for page 1 is six inches and the body height for page 2 is seven inches. The log scale is 5 feet per inch. If your borehole is 75 feet deep you will get 30 feet on the first page, 35 feet on the second page and the remaining 10 feet on the third page.
If you want to send me your files I would be happy to look at what you have now. Send me the library and project.

I managed to back calculate the depths using the formulas in your answer. The logs now match the field logs.
Thank you !
