that seems to work very well thank you very much. Float the long
table to the top of a page. Table breaks and text continues after
table finishes on second page.
module can also be modified for putting longtables sideways on a page
change preamble to this
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\newcommand{\longtablelandscapepage}[1]{%
\afterpage{\clearpage\begin{landscape}
{#1}\end{landscape}}}
