>I need to have six reports printed right after each other without having Windows or VFP ejecting to the next page. We are using an Epson dot matrix printer. The management wants to have the six reports printed in sequence without any page breaks to save paper and to group the reports together. These reports are related together by the manufacturing job number. Examples of some of the reports are: material cost summary, labor cost summary, machine cost summary, job cost summary and so on. Some of these reports may be short so it would be nice to save on paper.

In the 2.6 Win days I had each report print to a file, I then append each file into a table with (1) 250 chr wide field. I then had a new report that just printed 1 column, you guessed it 250 char wide. That was for green bar reports in compressed mode.

It was not pretty to code but it worked just fine.
