I am looking for a solution myself. In the top of my form I faked running a "Short" detail for one sql selected table and just added all records into a variable using scan/endscan and let the field-box's "Stretch" feature of the rpt-wrtr do the word wrapping using Courier-New, a fixed-cpi font. This is limited in size unless this info is put into a memo-field. I still have the problem of outputting 2-lines per record (some blank to be filled with SPACE()).
I will try The "Union-Print-when" strategy below.
