>>Let me get this straight. If you put a CHR(12) in the last group footer, then issue another REPORT FORM command, the second report's page 1 will print on the back of the last page of the previous report [if odd numbered]? Assuming you have a printer capable of doing this, among your other caveats.

Nope. Just confirmed that once 1 report is done you can not force page 1 of a second REPORT FORM command to print on the back side of an odd page of the previous REPORT FORM COMMAND. I believe the example would be:

REPORT FORM Report_1 TO PRINTER
REPORT FORM Report_2 TO PRINTER

I believe what she wants is to chain multiple REPORT FORMs together like they were all 1 report including page numbering and 2-sided printing. The reason I think this is not possible is because there is an end of print job at the end of each report so the Windows spooler treats each as a separate print job.
