>>>I tried this one earlier today, but here goes again. I am trying to control the line number issued by the printer using the report writer. The application I have written must be able to print advises and cheques to a laser printer ( probably an H.P. or compatible ). The problem is that each cheque will have a different number of details on the advice. How can I advance the printer to the appropriate line to print the actual cheque itself. I would like to use the report writer if possible. Any ideas?

>If the cheque is in the footer section, does that imply that it will print on every page?

Yes. I thought you must print on one page preprinted form.

> Some cheques have two pages of advice but I only want the actual cheque portion to print once. Ideas?

In this case, you may need to use a group band (if you must print more cheques) or a summary band (if you must print only one cheque).

Please tell us exactly what you need to print (with samples if possible). Even the report designer is not very powerful, usually you can get your results with or without some small tricks.
