Tim, have you tried putting the line
DUPLEX=2
into the Expr memo field in the report form's table?

In case you are not aware, the report's FRX file is just a VFP table with the report's information. So use that table (USE reportname.frx) and browse it and add the line DUPLEX=2 in the Expr memo.

This might help you. It doesn't allow the flexibility that I would like, but it works for some situations...

Joe

>>Don't use ??? under W95/NT, it creates a separate printjob. You should call a function from within a report field (somewhere in the header) which will look like this:

>>return ""
