[RBASE-L] - Printing 2 reports on 1 page

[KarenTellef]

This is in Windows 6.5++

A client told me they want to print two copies of the
SAME DATA on one piece of laser paper.  I have done
this before for single-row type of data, loading the
data twice into a temp table and having the detail
row wide enough so that only 2 fit on a page.

BUT HERE'S THE KICKER.  The data is regional, there
will be multiple rows.  In addition to the regional
data there is also header and footer type of info.
The footer data will have to be at a particular spot
on the half sheet.

Here's what I'm thinking of doing -- does anyone have
a better idea?  I'm thinking of defining a report and
outputting it to a file.  Then I will append the file
onto itself for 2 copies and just type it to the laser.
The tedious part is going to be getting the report to
"fit".  Printing a report to a file results in all kinds
of strange aligning in Windows and I can imagine DAYS of
work to get it to align to the form!

Any better ideas that I can stay with the report designer
directly to paper?
