Insert page when odd number pages...?

edited October 2005 in Devices
?Using RB 6.03 embedded in a database application. The report generates
information for multiple entities using groupings. I wonder if there is
a way to insert a blank page before the new page is generated whenever
there is an odd number of pages before the group break. Customer wants
to duplex the reports but wants the first page of a group to always be
on the front of a new pabe, never the back of the previous group break.

Does this make sence?

Thanks in advance...

    Hi,

    Take a look at the following example. It shows how to start each group on
    an odd page to help with duplexing.

    If I were to drop this into an existing report, how would I do that. I
    qam not a programmer and do not have access to a development
    environmnet. I simply have the RB executable at my disposal. Is this
    something that would require external programming or can it be done
    within a report?

    TIA

    Thanks for the clarification.

    I work for a company that licenses RB for their product. However my
    postion is to supply sypport to end users of that product who need
    reports built, and in that capacity I do not ahve access to development
    tools, nor the expertise to use them particularly.

    So I need to go to our developers for this type of support, is that
    correct?

    Hi Val,

    Yes, in most cases, we will answer questions posted in our newsgroups as if
    we are talking to a Delphi developer. In this case, it is necessary to add
    some code (as in the example I sent) to provide the feature you want.
