Thank you for your responses. I appreciate the input.

Maybe this will clear things up.

I have a report based on a SQL statement that returns X number of groups of data. Each group contains anywhere from 10 - 1000 records.

The report is separated by group and distributed to field workers.

The key to my question is that the report is to be printed *duplex*.

Therefore page "1" of each group needs to be on the "front" page.

I.e. The cover page for the report is on page 1. The data for the first group should be printed on page 3. If the data for group one consumes 2 pages (page 3 and 4) then the data for the second group should start on page 5. If the data for group one consumes 3 pages (page 3, 4 and 5) then the data for the second group should start on page 7.

Note the need to start each group on an *odd* numbered page.

I believe what I need to know how to do is programmatically insert a page break or force a form feed.
