You'll have to change the report layout design so that the report will fit
twice on the A4 paper size. You can configure the report to fit on half the
A4 page. If you are just using the detail band, you can set the
DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property to 2. Otherwise, you can save the report
to a template file. Then load the report template into two different
subreports in the main report. The main report will only contain the two
subreports. See the main reports demo #51 and 52 for an example of this
approach to printing different reports in one main report.

Thanks for the anser.

I put 2 subreports in one main repor set printbehavior to pbsection but
it prints in 2 pages, the height of subreports is 145 margins all 0.
why it puts 2 pages.

Sorry, I neglected to mention that you should not use the pbSection style
subreport. You can use two child type subreports instead. This way they
won't start on a new page. Make sure to set the bottom one to shift relative
to the top subreport.

You can also use two fixed style subreports instead of child type. You need
to resize the fixed subreport component's height in order to specify the
area in which the subreport is allowed to generate in the parent detail
band.

Jim it works but it has a new problem. wen the details records fill all
the detail band
I need to put "CONTINUE" in the footerband but the first ppchildreport
don't let me
print the ppchildfooterband on the first subreport. The second subreport
print Ok whith
footer "continue" and on Summaryband the Total of report in next page
I put some code on the ppsummaryband beforeprint event
" ppchildreport1.FooterBand.Visible:=false;

ppSummaryBand1.PrintPosition:=ppchildreport1.Printersetup.Paperheight-ppchil
dreport1.PrinterSetup.MarginBottom-ppSummaryBand1.Height;"

thanks a lot for the help

Ps
I put child style
I use delphi4 RB Enterprise 6.03

thanks again.

The child type subreport doesn't support the header and footer bands. The
header and footer are part of the main report. The main reports demo project
shows how to show a continued label in the report as the detail subreport
breaks over multiple pages. See the main demos for master detail and
subreports (#61 - 73). You could detect when the detail band is
(DetailBand.OutOfSpace = True) and then show a label in the main report's
page footer band.
