Bill: Are you going to use the DOS or Windows upgrade? If you stay in DOS, I believe the "old" way of doing this will still work (someone can correct me, I don't have anyone on new DOS version). If you plan on going to windows, you can no longer printer multiple reports on one page, unless you use the Pagemode commands. It's been this way since the first 5.x RBase windows version, and is because of Windows automatically kicking a page out after every print. But in version 7.5 they introduced the concept of SubReports (which is one report printed inside another). It might take some work to get the structure figured out, but this might work for you. You could also try printing the individual reports to a .txt file and then just printing the .txt file to the printer.
