>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...

My usual trick (though I haven't done too many Fox reports recently) is to group on anything that fits, and have the group print on a new page. The group expression can be anything, even bof(), eof(), UDF or a report variable. The report variables are specially cute for this sort of manipulation, because they can be manipulated in code called from any band's OnEntry function.
