Hello,

We have a database that we would want to print on a preprinted form.

The form is a perforated letter size 8.5" (width) x 11" (height) paper.

The size of each perforated portion is 8.5" (width) x 5.5" (height).
Basically, the perforation is exactly at the have of the letter size paper.

We created the report that we lined up on the pre-printed forms and adjust
the margins. However, when we print 2 records per page, the first record,
which is on the top part is pergectly lined up. However, the second portion
of the page is not lining up since the margin does not take effect on the
middle part of the paper.

Is there anyway I can make the second part excatly ast the first part of the
page?

Thank you very much in advance.
 
Brig,

I recall having a similar situation. From memory, I added
a hidden running number and used "[mynumber] mod 2 <> 1"
to determine if it was printing on the bottom of the page
and adjusted the height property of an empty group header
to adjust the vertical positioning on the page.

Thank you very much.

I have been trying to adjust the group footer.

I will try to work with the group header.

Thanks again.

Brig,

Best of luck. Be aware the measurements for these heights
are in twips (1440 twips equals an inch).
