This > means that different sections of a report can not only use > different printer settings, but that they can also be sent > to different printers. > > To do this, click on the appropriate Sub-Report tab in > report designer and then simply customize the page setup > as you would do for the normal report. > > Report Designer | Select Sub-Report | Main Menu ... > > Main Menu | File | Page Setup ... | Printer ... > > When the Page Setup property is set for the Sub-Report, > then this property determines whether a new print job is > started when the Sub-Report is sent to the printer. This > property can be used when a portion of a report needs to > be printed to a separate printer. If you need to change > printer settings for a certain section, you can do so > without starting a new print job. Simply set the Page > Setup properties (Printer, Paper Size, Orientation, Paper > Tray, etc.) and these settings will be applied as the > report prints. > > Think about printing a Summary Page with R:Charts Analysis > on a color printer and then printing all details with > hundreds of pages on a separate black and white printer. > > Imagine the possibilities! > > Enjoy and make sure to have fun! > > Very Best R:egards, > > Razzak. > > >
