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

Change your code to use NOPAGEEJECT and I think this is the best solution for your situation.


NOPAGEEJECT is valid only during program execution. It is disregarded when issued in the Command window. Changing between page orientations, such as landscape to portrait, between reports is not supported.

You can chain multiple reports using NOPAGEEJECT and have page numbers continue from one report to the next. This is a useful technique for tasks such as faxing reports.

The REPORT FORM command also allows a NOEJECT keyword, which Visual FoxPro no longer supports but was used in older DOS versions of FoxPro and FoxBASE+. This keyword does not perform any function but does not trigger an error.
