how to have each record occupy half a page

edited June 2002 in General
I have a master detail report with customer and invoice information.
I would like to each customer to occupy exactly half a page. I would print
the customer name and then up to 3 invoices on the first half of the page.
Then I would like to print the next customer starting at exactly a specific
position. ( e.g. 5.5 )

My problem is that the 2nd customer of each page starts at a position
depending on the previous customer. How can I achieve this?

    Place a fixed type subreport in the detail band of the main report and do
    not assign a pipeline to it. Then place your subreport which traverses the
    detail data into the fixed subreport. Set the height of the fixed subreport
    to a little less than half a page (taking into account other component in
    the band) so that exactly two of them can fit on the page.
