James,

Does it mean, that you don't have report footer and header? Or you don't care about them printing on the BLANK page?

>>>Hi All,
>>>
>>>I have a report that requires me to issue an extra (in addition to "Start each group on a new page") form feed if it is an odd page number [Mod(_PageNo,2)#0]. I've tried putting a field Chr(12) in the group footer but is just prints out a square. Any suggestions?

>>Here's a method I describe in my new book:
>>
>>- Make sure the "Start group on new page" box is checked.
>>- Add a field object to the Group Footer band with the following expression: IIF(MOD(_PAGENO, 2) = 0, '', REPLICATE(CHR(13), 40))
>>- Check the "Stretch with overflow" checkbox and the "Remove line if blank" checkbox on this object
>>
>>The number "40" is just a number I used for an example and you may have to adjust yours. It represents how many lines lines would fit on the page. This way .. if only 1 detail band prints .. the 40 CHR(13)s would cause the Group Footer to not fit .. therefore, it does a page feed and prints the "blank lines" on the next page.
>>
>>One catch with this trick is that the last group will also print a blank page. If you aren't printing doublesided, this is probably not what you want. To avoid the extra blank page, you can use the following code to print the report:
>>
>>

>>PRIVATE pnLastRec
>>USE MyData
>>GOTO BOTTOM
>>pnLastRec = RECNO()
>>
>>GOTO TOP
>>REPORT FORM MyReport TO PRINTER PROMPT PREVIEW
>>

>>
>>Now, change the expression for the new object to the following: IIF(MOD(_PAGENO, 2) = 0 OR RECNO() = pnLastRec, '', REPLICATE(13), 40))
>>
>>
>>I hope this helps!
