Hi Isaac,

AFAIK, you can insert only one SUMMARY band in Report, right?

I have the similar problem still unresolved. I have a quite complicated report written in VFP Report Writter. This report is printed on both sides of paper. This report is grouped by 1)county, 2)town. Each Group starts on the new page.
Now our customer made a request: if group ends on the odd page, they want to have additional blank page inserted, e.g the new town should be separated from the previous. We produce this report as PDF, so we have to find a solution to insert blank pages. Apparently there is no simple solution for this. I tried bunch of ideas already and nothing works.

I think, I have to use John's Frx2Word utility and then use OLE Automation to insert blank pages. Very hard road :(...

>>>I'm thinking since I gotta get this done tonight, to break it up into two strings and use the report summary for the second string with its built in page break.

Ed's reply is (as always) right on, too: you can send whatever control characters you want to when sending output directly to the printer. You can even send PCL control sequences this way, to control such things as page orientation, font, margins, etc. so just because you elect to go directly to the printer doesn't mean you're stuck with plain ASCII text.
