>You can add a data hroup with an expression of RECNO(). That gives you a Group Hdr band, a detail band, and a group footer band and you can make each of them tall enough to be their own page (less the page header and page footer). You want 4 so you can repeat the process and add another data group with the same exact expression of RECNO(). Now you have two more bands that you can make the full size of a page. You can keep adding more data groups with the same expression of RECNO() and keep getting more and more bands. It's a great trick!


Original poster mentioned having one record;
Would second group ever flash, or you meant having dummy cursor that drives number of groups/pages ?

I remember another trick that might be handy here (and might very well be yours {g});

RPT TITLE + GROUP HEADER + GROUP FOOTER + SUMMARY = 4 pages

However, both tricks might fall short if they need to significantly expand number of prefixed pages in the future.
