Hi Chris,

Sorry for the late reply, but we have a duplex printer too, so I thought
this would be a nice way to save some $$$.

Try this: Create a new section in the Group Footer for the assembly by
right-mouse clicking on the groups and choose Insert Section Below - in this
case, it's the group with the materials for the Asm. Right-mouse click again
and open the Section Expert.

Click on this new group and check the box "New Page Before". Click on the
formula button to the right of "Suppress (No Drill Down) and enter this
formula: (PageNumber mod 2) = 0.

This is make this section hidden on even numbered pages and displayed on odd
number pages. That will cause the New Page before to fire.

In the actual report, you can enter the text "Intentionally Blank" if you
want that displayed to let users know that this page is just a place holder.

HTH,

Hi,

I have a Job Traveller with three assembly sequences.

The problem is, I need to print the traveller and print it on duplex printer .....

Page 1Â Â Â Â Asm Seq 1
Page 2Â Â Â Asm Seq 1Â Â Â
Page 3Â Â Â Asm Seq 1
Page 4Â Â Â Asm Seq 2
Page 5Â Â Â Asm Seq 2
Page 6Â Â Â Asm Seq 3
Page 7Â Â Â Asm Seq 3

As you can see from the above, Asm Seq 1 is only 3 pages long, and when printing in duplex, Asm Seq 2 prints on the back of Asm Seq 1. We need to be able to split them so Asm Seq 2 prints on an 'odd' page (i.e. not on the back of something).

I need it to print like this ....

Page 1Â Â Â Â Asm Seq 1
Page 2Â Â Â Asm Seq 1Â Â Â
Page 3Â Â Â Asm Seq 1
Page 4Â Â Â Intentionally Blank
Page 5Â Â Â Asm Seq 2
Page 6   Asm Seq 2
Page 7   Asm Seq 3
Page 8   Asm Seq 3

In other words if the last page of an Asm Seq is ODD I need a blank page inserting (making a blank even page) then begin to print on the next odd page.

I also need to have the page numbers so they begin counting from 1 for each Asm Seq, but I woul also like a field to show how many pages there were for the total Top Level assembly.

I hope this is clear.

Thanks,



CHRIS
