A lot of this depends on the kind of information in the report, whether its basically row bound data or more like a document. If its row bound then there should be some criteria you can use to restart the report at a reasonable place. After all if the report is based upon volatile data then the pagination may change from run to run. So, if you can allow them to print the data based on whatever grouping the report has they can judge themselves where to report from and to. I accept that this may make for a bitty report but in terms of page numbering you could print the page number as _PAGENO+offset, where they can specify the offset. On the other hand if the report is 500 pages long you might think about generating it in a slightly different way. Database/Report engines are not at their best when handling documents. Word Processors are much better at handling documents. So, if your report is more like a document consider exporting the data or using DDE with Foxpro as the server (my preference) into a Word or similar word processor. They can then print the report at any page they desire with as much control over copies as they desire.
