Menachem -

Long time no see. I am still telling your joke about the programmer, engineer and systems analyst going down the mountain in a runaway car. Was the thermos bottle joke yours too?

Re your problem - I would look into XFRX. (in downloads here) It will let you consolidate as many frxs as you like into output into a word doc, html, pdf whatever with amazing accuracy. Very reasonable license, takes minutes to integrate and you can then send the whole thing as one job.

Support is terrific

Good luck

>I have a legacy system that prints "reports" that are really multiple FRXs. So, the report program processes data for an FRX, prints it and then moves on to the next FRX. We are encountering a problem on network printers because each FRX is sent to the printer as its own print job (e.g., other print jobs gets mixed in between).

I was thinking that there might be an API call that would do what I want (although I am not sure what it is). I have the option of outputting to another medium, perhaps, (like RTF) and printing that but that could alter the formatting somewhat.
