combine reports

edited September 2007 in General
?I need print many reports like template but each with his own number.
Now I made that e.g. print 500 pagine one by one, with number e.g. from
2000 to 2500. All theese works arriving to printer, but in not correct
order, e.g. pages 2300 2305 2302 2303 2304 2306 2307 2308 ... It is
difficult for workers after sort pages in correct order. Is it possible
print in correct order?
May be need dinamically create 1 big report for 500 pages?
But it will be slowly and how I can control page dividing?
What about print in archive file and after combining they in one file?
Is there sense try this way?

    Hi,

    For future reference, please use your real full name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    I'm a bit unclear about why the report is printing out of order. How are
    the page numbers determined? Are you printing each page based on ordered
    data in a dataset?

    There is a freeware utility available from our website that allows you to
    merge multiple archive files into a single file if you would like to try
    that route. (kuRAFMerge).

    Hi,
    Thanks you for help. I'v alredy resolve problem. May be I have been write
    not clear enough. So I would like to explain some more details.
    I was need to stamp many pages that after user as template - to fill.
    So I haven't need to use db. So it was put in title of report and in cicle
    print e.g. 500 times.
    So printer receive 500 jobs for print. Obviously, because we have OS
    Windows multitask sometime eg. job.401 arrive to printer previous to
    job.400. So people had problem with ordering pages. Now I have created
    table that contains only 3 columnus primary key, number and guid. And I
    have move all in detail band.
    If user would like print many pages program insert in table e.g. 500 (how
    much he have selected) and create dataset based on that table: select *
    from table where guid=@guid. So I have received 1 report with many pages.
