Bob, Thanks,
I wish this was going to be simple but it does not look like this is going to happen. I am using a PON column to start a new page and reset page numbers each time and this is working fine. As a matter of fact again the same problem is occurring with word documents in a few different ways based on the number of pages and some settings. It seems the patterns are always the same. If it is a two sided document it prints in reverse. One side Dockuments always print correctly. Problem seems to be with the print drivers and I will have to get with Rioch or our supplier to resolve this issue and then once again I am in the software verses hardware wars - UGH. You have help greatly and helped me confirm my suspicions.

(Or hit CTRL B) You can then create a report BREAK for any column in your driving table/view. So for instance, you could create a break on Invoice Number. One of the options listed is "Start New Page", which means when the value in the column you selected for the break changes, Rbase will cause a form feed and start a new page on the printer. There are other options relating to page control here as well. You can create multiple breaks in a report and have forms feeds as needed. For instance, one way of doing multiple page invoices could be to set a break on invoice number. Place all invoice address info on the Break Header band. Place the invoice detail data in the detail band. Place invoice totals in the in Break Footer Band. (Set the invoice as needed, this can be very complex or very simple, depending on what you need and how your data is stored) Click CTRL B or select REPORT, BREAK. Highlight the break(0) line and click the START ON NEW PAGE option. Rbase will perform a form feed before each new invoice number. The above scenario is normally used when printing multiple invoice numbers with one print statement such as; PRINT INVREPORT Where INVSTATUS = 1 This might generate several invoices, yet due to the report break and the option start on new page, each invoice number would start on a new page. You can also right click on the Report Header Band, and there is an option for NEWPAGE there as well. This can be useful in some situations as well. The above is a very simple sample, but you should be able to get the idea. -Bob
