Thank you for the idea. I plan on trying, but will probably insert an empty row for page two (the second page only conatins two printed fields). I am not too thrilled about about copying each row or about modifying the SQL that is already going against large files inefficiently.
I was wrong about the current state of the coding (the DW uses two nested reports but it seems to cause an alignment issue even though the report is checked for new page). Lucky me, working with somebody else's project that has been in test stage since year 2011, has had the printing design/method altered substantially, old and new coding/objects in place with no documentation of changes, and now needs to be migrated from PB 11.5 to 12.5.1;<0).
