Maybe a Toledo Wish-List issue!?

In that report chr(12) worked fine. ~2 years ago, when I was faced this challenge, I tried lots of different ideas. Cathy's idea was also one, I've tried unsuccessfully. I spent more than month before I've realized, that there is no simple way to have a completely blank page inserted. So, I invented this complicated algorithm (and unfortunately it requires two passes) to do the job.

>>>>>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.
