how to print twice on the same page

rbuser

I have a report that prints the customer information one record per page. I
would like to know how to print the same record twice on the same page
(customer information is less than half a page)

Increase the detail band height to occupy much of the page. The top of the
detail band should contain the data aware controls to print the top record,
and the bottom of the same detail band should contain a duplicate of these
controls. Since the controls are in the same band, then they will print the
same data as the controls at the top of the band.

If I change the report to print the customer information and the last 3
invoices for each customer, what do I have to change? I am using a group to
print invoices on the detail band. How do I duplicate the data aware
controls?

Thanks for the quick response

Try setting DetailBand.BandsPerRecord to two in order to force the detail
band to print twice. You'll have to resize the detail band to occupy half
the available page (taking into account the other band heights).
