Karen I support Buddy 110% on this. Some time I even keep the temp table semi-permanent, that way I can use odbc to import the report from Excel very easy even for databser prior to 7,0

Instead of writing data to a page insert the data into a temporary table. If you take a look at http://www.medschool.pitt.edu/DeptAdmin/SrElective/EMED.PDF The data for this report came from 3 different databases (Student, International, Visiting). Insert the data exactly the way you want it to appear on the report. If you require different headers for each part of the page then just put the header information there. Blank lines between detail lines and the next header then just insert blank lines. If you or anyone else would like a copy of the code just let me know and I'll send it to you.

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? Karen
