If your report fields take more space than one page and you cannot squeze them on report designer (which would be simpler) then you can manipulate report cursor:
1. You inflate the data making two records from every one, data from the first record will be printed on first page, second record- on second page.
2. These two records will retain recno() value in new Recno field and be recognized by adding new field 'grouporder' (1-for first record,2-for second).
3. Now you can group your report by Recno,GroupOrder and have new group started from new page.
I understand that it's time consuming proposal but, ultimately, it can be used.
