>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.

Assuming you're using VFP 9, I've just chained together reports using the reportlistener class (the FFC subclass of it). The code basically looked something like:
loListener = CREATEOBJECT("_ReportListener")
lcClause = "NOEJECT"
* Generate first report
loListener.AddReport("ReportName.FRX", lcClause)
* Generate second report
loListener.AddReport("ReportName2.FRX", lcClause)
lcClause = ""
* Generate final report
loListener.AddReport("ReportName3.FRX", lcClause)

loListener.RunReports(.T.) && .T. removes the reports from the list after each run
In my case, I actually was doing this inside of a loop (generating commission statements for several employees and merging them down into a single PDF report w/a table of contents using XFRX).

The nice thing about this is that each report can be developed independently, with whatever formatting you need.
