That's exactly what she was suggesting. Try reading her article because you have have two completely different pages that way. Actually I think you could have more than that, but it would be a bit more work. The only other way would be to use two reports, one for page 1 and another for page 2.

>>>The bottom line is that I need to be able to design both sides of the page and if the total of all bands is more then a full page (11 1/2) I get the error. (This was not a problem in 2.6 it did not seem to care how big the reports is)

>>You can design both sides of the page, but you have to follow the instructions from my article to do it. Reread it to see if you are missing something. The key here is that you are only setting the detail band to the height of ONE page ... not two pages.

>>Create a cursor with TWO records for each one record in your source table. Add a new field called REC_TYPE, setting it to "1" for the first record and "2" for the second record. Place all the items for the 1st page in the detail band and change their "Print When" logic to REC_TYPE = "1". Then place all the items for the 2nd page on top of the first set, changing the print logic to REC_TYPE = "2". It will look like a mess because you'll have fields on top of each other but when it prints, it will only grab the first set of fields for the first page and the 2nd set of fields for the 2nd page.
