Two identical reports in one A4 page

[Guest]

I am using a report to print a receipt for a customer. The customer however
needs two receipts identical in one A4 page. Does anybody have any idea on
how I can do this?

Thanks in advance

Try taking your report in design view and copying every element as it
sits on the page by holding down the shift key and clicking on each
one. Then expand the actual form and paste the elements you copied
below the first set. You may need to re-size the report you have now
so that it is only half the size of an A4 page before you copy the
elements. This may give you what you want...two copies of the same
report on one page. You may have to play with it a bit.

Create a table with one field and two records. It doesn't matter what you enter
in the records. Add this table to the query the report uses without making any
joins to it. This will cause all output to be doubled up in the report output.
Then just add a top-level grouping level in the report on the field in this new
table and configure it to add a page break (if necessary).

That sounds like a better method than the one I came up with

Thank you guys,
I will just try what you have both suggested.
My problem however is how I can have two header and detail sections in one
report.

Hi,

My problem however is how I can have two header and detail sections in one
report.

may be this solution could do this:

1. create a new report
2. place 2 sub-report-controls on this new report
3. put the original report to each of the two sub-report-controls
