Hi Fred,

It seemed :) Unfortunately, didn't work. I already tried bunch of different ideas and nothing worked. Yesterday reading this thread I was thinking, may be it's possible to save report as an ascii file and then print it. In this case we would preserve formatting. I have to try this idea, but I already have a bad feeling about it...

>>May be you can help me with the problem, I put aside for a while. I have one idea to try, but it seems to be complicated, may be you know better ways. I have a report designed in VFP report writer. The report itself is quite complicated. I have to insert a blank page, if group ends on odd number in order to print each group from the new page, IOW, if the user uses both sides of page to print it should be like:
>>Group1
>>Page1
>>Page2
>>Page3
>>Empty Page
>>
>>Group2
>>Page1
>>Empty page
>>
>>Group3
>>Page1
>>Page2
>>
>>etc.
