i got no answer so i'm going to try again.
can anyone post their reportlab version and a working example of multi 
page tables. i'd like to compare it to mine and see what's going on.
the problems gotten more critical now. the strange thing is i make multi 
page tables else where without a problem.

here is my code:
doc = SimpleDocTemplate(PDFName,pagesize=landscape(A4)
   
    #this fetchs figures from the database and returns them in a list of 
lists
    Data = PaperWorkSQL.MakeReport(UserName,PassWord, ForVenue, 
FromWeek, ToWeek, ReportType, Year)

    Report = []
   
    if ReportType == 'SecretShopper':
       #the 2 important lists
        Items = Data[0]
        Totals = Data[1]

           
        # add headings
        Report.append(Paragraph(ForVenue+ ' ' + str(Year) + ' Secret 
Shopper', TopHeadingStyle))
        Totals.insert(0,['Week','Pass/Fail','Result','Possible','Passing'])
        Items.insert(0,['Week','Category','Comment','Score'])   
       
        #items table       
        ItemsTable = Table(Items, None, None)
        Report.append(ItemsTable)   
       
        #totals table       
        TotalsTable = Table(Totals, None, None)
        Report.append(TotalsTable)   
  
       
    doc.build(Report)
  

And here is the big fat error i gt when i attemp to make a table longer 
then the page:
 File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/reportlab/platypus/tables.py", 
line 150, in __init__
    raise ValueError, "%s data error - %d columns in data but %d in 
grid" % (self.identity(),ncols, len(colWidths))
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/reportlab/platypus/tables.py", 
line 192, in identity
    cv = self._cellvalues
AttributeError: Table instance has no attribute '_cellvalues'

Here is my actual tables:
Table(
 rowHeights=[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, 
None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 colWidths=[None, None, None, None],

   [38, 'On arrival', 'Yes, I felt very welcomed and met the manager', 5],
   [38, 'Room', 'Very clean, cleaned regularly', 5],
   [38, 'Toilets', 'Very clean at all times', 4],
   [38, 'Wait/floor staff', 'Were very courteous, friendly and made 
conversations', 7],
