Would 2-up printing work for you? If so, checkout the FinePrint program at www.fineprint.com. It is a printer driver that supports all kinds of 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-up, and booklet printing between your application and a real printer at the final destination. This program has been my default "printer" for many years.

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?
