Changing layout on last copy

rbuser

Hi,

I have to change the layout of a template with setting visible to false or
true in dependence on printer copie count. The first copies should be
declared as invoice and the last copy should be a packing list.

At first, I created two templates but there is only one paper tray and the
paper is sorted - four sheets in white (invoice) and one in yellow (packing
list).

I can get the count of copies with printersetup object, but I don't find a
way to switch the layout on ReportBeforePrint or OnStartPage.

Do you have an idea?

Best regards
Ingo

Hi Ingo,

Your specifications would be much easier to meet by doing this in two
print jobs (2 reports). 1 report would print 4 copies of the invoice,
then the second would print the packing list.

One report object could even be used and you could dynamically load the
proper template based on which part of the print process you were in.

It is possible to make minor changes to reports mid-copy/printjob
however I do not believe it is possible to change the complete layout of
a report via loading a template.
