Crescencio,
That would be a logical solution, but one that would make the creation of single PDF and HTML or text files more problematic. That's why I already rejected that solution.

Thanks for the reply. It would certainly solve the problem if I only wanted to print the report to printer.

>>I'm trying to print out a title page for a report that only prints when a logical expression is true. Otherwise, no title page prints (and no blank page get's kicked out!).
>>
>>At first, I tried to modify the report to conditionally print the title page, but I couldn't get the page to break after title text printed (all text contained in single memo field/variable). If I changed the report to page break at design time, it forced a blank title page at runtime (not what the cook intended and defeats the whole purpose). Without the page break at design time, the report started printing at the end of the title text. Adding a variable amount of CR&LF didn't do it either. There is something very strange about the report writer & title page...

>>Then I have been trying to hack the FRX to add necessary rows to the frx at runtime, but still am not having any success.
>>
>>Anybody out there find a better solution, (still using the VFP report generator) and/or give me some tips and tricks to solve the problem?
