Can anyone tell me how to set up printing a report which will print 2 pages
per sheet in landscape. I have grouped section which forces a page break
and would like to have each page oriented on a half sheet in landscape.

TIA for your help

Hello Mickel,

Since all of the details of your question are not available,
the quickest response I can give is to set up your landscape
report to have two columns instead of just the one.

Regards,

Ray

Currently, I have a report with a report header (not visable), page header,
group header (not visable), detail, group footer, page footer, report
footer. On a portrait orientation, the report prints a single group per
sheet. Since the detail is not long, I was considering using landscape
orientation and printing 2 pages per sheet to save printing time and paper.
I have about 200 sheets to print.

I tried using 2 columns, but that doesn't print the page header or footer
over each column and getting the columns to fit properly on the sheet isn't
straightforward. It requires tweaking. I can probably fudge it by moving
the headers into the group, etc, etc., but that doesn't seem like right. I
thought there should be a simple printing routine to take a portrait and
rotate it to fit 2 pages per sheet in landscape.

thanks, mike

while i have no idea how you might do this programatically the user
can be educated to do it via the printers Page Setup utility in almost
every case.
