Just another suggestion for you.. but I have NO idea if it would work

Try putting a UDF at the end of the page which changes the report table to give you the second page.
The idea I have in my head is something along the lines of :

Create your 2 reports seperatley

Use report1.frx
Replace all user with 'Page1'
Append from report2.frx
Replace all user with 'Page2' For empty(user)
use

Then call the following func from the report.

*********************
Function ReportSwitch
*********************
Set Deleted off
* Need to save work areas and record positions etc
Select 0
Use report1.frx again  &&Eeeek will this work?

If user = 'Page1' And Deleted()
Delete for user = 'Page2'
Recall for user = 'Page1'
Else
Delete for user = 'Page1'
Recall for user = 'Page2'
Endif
Set deleted on

Maybe you can't use the "user" field - maybe "comment"
Need to look at John's article to find out this kind of thing.

As I say.. I have never tried anything like this but this may give you some ideas...

>Very messy for sure. These are printed forms. There are many lines (not data but drawn lines), very small print, tons of verbage, little boxes that are checked from data, on and on. With this not being a standard report with a header and detail where the detail section is virtually blank except for the report data, I don't think PrintWhen is going to work here. You'd never be able to change the definition without having to try and wade through all the rest of the mess. Thanks for the suggestion though!!!

>>Make it as a single layout by just a copying of all controls from second layout to first layout. However, for all controls on the first page put the PrintWhen... condtition to print them only on the first page, for controls from second layout put a condition to print only on the second page. Quite messy, but it will print in a single pass, so I guess it could be done that way.

>>>Page 1 has a definition and I'd love to get the backside to print in one pass also. Currently, I have two report definitions, one for the front side and one for the back. Users have to print the front from the tray and then flip over the paper and load to the manual tray. Would love to end this.
