Print several reports as one

W

I have several reports (8) that I would like to print as one. It's just
easier to have one big report to present to someone (email) than to print 8
reports and combine them somehow.

I have tried the macro route - it prints them all but as separate reports.

I have tried the switchboard route - same thing.

The only thing left is a Master report with 8 subreports. I am having
trouble with getting blank pages (every other page) and how do I handle
headers? The reports will have slightly different headers. All of the reports
are 2 pages. I can get a header on the first page only.

Any help/ideas is appreciated.

I expect you are getting blanks because of either widths or keep together/new
page properties.

Subreports won't have page header sections. You typically create a Sorting
and Grouping section on a constant like:
=1
View the group header section for this group and set its Repeat Section
property to Yes.

Thanks for your help. Things are starting to work on this one. Tell me this,
since the headers will be a little different for each report (there are 8 of
them), what is the best way to change the header for each one.

I have the header for the first one working and then I have page breaks set
to start the next report. You may be answering this with the "Repeat Section
property to Yes". I just haven't had time to try that one yet.

Thanks Again.

Each of the subreports can have their own Report Header section. This section
will only render once per subreport. The other group section I suggested
would be similar to a Page Header in terms of functionality.

I don't know what else you might want.
