FPW26 Report laser form

As long as the detail data is the same, it's not a problem. Just make the header the same size as the top half, and the footer the same size as the bottom half. Then duplicate everything in both halves.
If you are trying for a different record on each half, you will have to do some coding to print the first record on the top, skip a record and probably use memory variables for the second half.

Thanks dave,
The first and second halves, have to be the same.
Where do I place the (same) details for the first half and bottom half?
How do i force the details to go on subsequent pages?, for example only 3 details per page.
Thank you in advance

Make your Page Header the same size as the top portion of the perf paper. Then add the labels, fields, whatever to that area.
Make the Page Footer the same size as the bottom half of the perf paper. You can then select all items from the top half, copy them, then paste them to the bottom half.
By default, when a report form is run, it will skip through the records of the currently selected table. You only design the initail layout and it carries through to the rest of the pages.

While you are correct in that you can only print one detail band per report there are ways in which you can organize the data prior to sending it to the Report Form which will group and/or sort the data so that it can appear similar to multiple detail bands.
Consider using a temporary table for your Report data and add additional fields which will not be printed, but which can be used to organize the data into the appropriate "groups".
Additonally you can use these addition fields in Print When... expressions within the Detail band objects to show or not show Report Form objects.
Good Luck,
