I need to produce a report which will print totally different layouts based upon a data element in the cursor which is driving the report. I need to do this becase this is an application where the user expects to just go over to the printer and pull off a set of documents in order and use them without any further sorting or merging. We will need to produce something like merged sets of different documents in one run.

My first idea is to create a loop which will act like this:
scan
  do case
  case valueofreportcriteria = 1
     report form type1 next 1 to print noeject
  case valueofreportcriteria = 2
     report form type2 next 1 to print noeject
  case valueofreportcriteria = 3
     report form type3 next 1 to print noeject
  case valueofreportcriteria = 4
     report form type4 next 1 to print noeject
  endcase
endscan
report form endreport to print
Clumsy to say the least. Any better ideas?
