>in VFP 6.0 I am wondering how to control the printer more. I have a report that is very large, we have a printer that is capable of double sided printing. No problem getting the report to print double side, except, the report is suppose to be devided by worker, which does work, it starts a new workers info on the next page. The problem is sometimes the new page is the back side of a previous workers output. Since there is no way to antipate how big a report is or any command I can find to tell it to print a group on its own paper.

We struggled with this problem and just gave up and decided to use Crystal Reports.

Any help would be appriciated.

Some report writer tricks/tips have been published in Foxtalk ... i suggest you check them out.

To anticipate the number of pages of the large report you must print the report 2 times.
Once in the background without actually sending the report to the printer
and keeping track of the _PAGENO memory variable. Then print the report FOR REAL a second time.
