Same Report TWICE on Same Sheet of Paper?

I have a report that is based on a parent-child relationship. It is a receipt grouped on the receipt number with detail items. It is 8.5 x 5.5 inches and used to print on perforated dot-matrix sheets. Now the users have purchased perforated laserjet sheets so I need the ability to print the same report twice on the same sheet of paper where the first printing will print at the top (already finished that part successfully) and the 2nd printing will start at just below the middle of the SAME page (which would be just below the perforation). I have not figured out how to do the 2nd printing yet. How to do this since you can only have 1 detail band? I already have 1 grouping also. Any ideas?

Well, one way is to make your report 8.5x11 and then Copy the content twice on the report....

if you have calculations and variables, I would recomend changing those variable (such as counts, and sums, etc...)

so, the 1st half and 2nd half they point to the same record...

Hope this works! Tekno
