duplex printing question

[lmw]

hi!

i'm a newbie at this and hope to get a little help. i
have a report that groups data by sales district. when i
print to my duplexing printer, i want a true page break
between sales districts. i.e. i don't want the first page
of sales district 2 to print on the back of the last page
of sales district 1. i figured out how to put in the page
breaks but don't have a clue how to force a paper break.
any ideas on how to do this without manually printing each
district separately?

thanks

Hi. The way I would do this is to create a page break in
the district footer and set visible to false, than create
an event procedure during on format that turns the visible
state to on if the current page number is odd.
You cna determine if the page number is odd by the
followinf IIF statement
IIF page/2 = integer(page/2)
Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Thanks for the tip. I'm a complete novice but will
experiment with creating an event procedure. Another
question, will my page headers and footers print on the
back side of the page when the event procedure triggers?

The way I see the intend of this page break, is that it
will become visible (so start a new sheet) each time the
the group would have ended on the first sie of the paper,
this will cause the new page to start on a new page to
inlcude the group header etc.
Hope this helps.
