How to add a blank page when needed?

I have a report that prints out by Customer Name. Sometimes a customer will
have 3 pages, sometimes four, ect. I want to print the report double sided so
I need to have each customer have an even number of pages.
Help?

Try adding a PageBreak control (named pgNew) to the top of
the customer group header section. Then add code to the
group header section's Format event procedure:

pgNew.Visible = (Me.Page Mod 2 = 0)

Make sure that the customer group header section has its
ForceNewPage Property set to Before Section.

Thank you so much for your help. I have looked all over the internet to no
avail. I have added the new page break and named it pgNew and made sure that
the Force New Page was set to before section. I then copied your code and
added to the Customer Group Header. I recieves this error:
Access can not find the macro 'pgNew"

I then added an equal sign to the equation (thinking, that maybe it needed
it) so it read as follows:
=pgNew.Visible = (Me.Page Mod 2 = 0)
and recieved this error:
The object does not contain the Automation object 'Me'

My report is over 2000 pages and I really don't want to have to take into
into a pdf and add blank pages, so any help would be so appreciated!!

Apparently you are trying to enter the line of code into the
OnFormat property. Instead, you should put it into the
Format event procedure. The OnFormat property needs to
have:
[Event Procedure]

If you don't know how to find the event procedure, just
click on the code builder button [...] at the right edge of
the event property.
