Is this possible??

edited February 2006 in General
Hi Guys,

An end user has asked me if I can set up his printing so the first
page of reports goes to either printer or bin 1 for the first page to
print on pre-printed/letterhead paper, and the rest of the report to
printer or bin 2?

I was somewhat taken aback, never had that request/requirement before,
but said I would investigate.

Any thoughts?

Regards & TIA,

Ian

    Hi Ian,

    I would recommend placing two section style subreports in the main report's
    detail band (with no other bands present). Inside the first subreport
    include the information that needs to go onto the letterhead paper. The
    second subreport contains the rest of the report.

    Next be sure that each subreport's ParentPrinterSetup is set to False and
    NewPrintJob is set to True. Now you can assign a separate PrinterSetup to
    each child report (i.e. separate bins).
