Multipage invoice

[Jeffery Jones]

I have a situtation where there are many invoices to print for many
customers. The top 1/3 of the first page for each customer is a
tear-off section for return payment. This will be duplex printed,
and the number of transactions may spill onto multiple pages.

I have a Multi-page report set up and I can figure out everything
except for the headers.

P1: Group Header with page headers suppressed (Top front of tear
off)
Detail

P2: Page header #1 for 1/3 of the page. (Top back of tear off)
Detail ... continued

P3: Page header #2 - about 1" high
Detail continued

... etc.

Is there any way to have 2 different page headers of 2 different
sizes and select them?

Hello Jeffery,

As I know, it's not possible to print page header after group header.
However, you may consider if the following workaround is accepted:

1. Use a group header by the category of customer

2. Use another group header by the category of transaction, set its
"Repeatsection" property to true.

The other possible workaround might be using OnFormat event for
pageheader/groupheader etc so that you can change the properties of the
headers on running time when necessary.

Peter, I finally got this to work for me. I had to leave the
bottom of the first page blank, but this works for our application. I
had to wrestle with stuffer marks that change depending on total # of
pages per customer, as well as changing margins, and printer tray
selection. I ended up making full use of group headers, footers, and
subreports, and turning on multipass processing with the 'pages'
field.

I didn't have to use much VB code, but I defy anyone to look at the
app in the end and figure out how it works! Luckily, it just works!
