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?

Hi Paul
I tried putting the cheque summary information ( the pay to the order of stuff ) in the
footer section. What this produced was that regardless of how many details there were
on the advice section, it would print the total of those on the actual cheque portion
which is set to the footer. This I believe will work the way I want it to. I originally
thought about having multi-page advice portions totalled and printed on the last page
( ie just one cheque portion for let's say 2 advice pages ) DUH!! I don't have to do this.
So what if the each page has advice and a cheque portion! This works well. If there
are only 3 details on the advice for a supplier, then the cheque is summarized and printed
at the bottom of the page in the footer section. If a particular supplier has more
then 50 details ( invoices ) that he is being payed for then he will receive two cheques.
I think this will happen so infrequently that this solution will prove the most efficient.
Thanks to you and all for the ideas, they really helped.
