Hi all,

Is it possible that I can print two *.frx onto one a4-size paper?
one on the top half and the other on the bottom half.

Regards,
Wandy Tang

This is possible in VFP8. In earlier versions you could fist print the upper
half. Reload the paper into the printer, then print the lower half.

Hi Wandy,

If your reports are each one page then you can combine the two reports into
one report that fits one sheet of paper. Create a group on RecNO() and put
the controls for the "first" report in the group header and the controls for
the "second" report in the detail band. Set the group to always start on a
new page.

Hi Wandy:

Cindy's response will probably work, but I have not personally tried it.
Also, this article might help as well:

I hope this helps.

Hi,
I am giving you a solution which I am not sure. In
earlier DOS version Foxpro we use to do something like
this.

1. Set the pagelength of the report form ie, If the
paperlength is 72 lines and the invoice length is 36
lines, set pagelength of rpt form as 36 lines.
2. Set Eject after report as False
3. Set the _PADVANCE public variable as
_PADVANCE='LINEFEED'

This worked fine, we used to pring 2/3 invoices in one
page.
