 | This is probably staring me in the face, but I seems to be going brain dead on this...
How do I insert a blank page between pages of a report? How do I force a new page at any point in a report, on a given condition?
Thanks.

How do I force a blank page without interrupting the detailband processing?
Hello David,
Use the beginNewFrame() method to start a new page. Where are you doing this
from, some can/onRender event?
Your first message mentions a blank page. Is that what you need? That would
take a bit more thought.

| Todd, thanks for answering.
I need to insert a blank colored page from another drawer on our laser printer to identify when a report is more than one page. I am running several hundred individual reports (invoices) that get mailed out, but must first go through a folding maching. In stuffing the envelopes, both pages on the invoice need to get mailed in the same envelope. A blank colored sheet of paper would help in making sure that this happens. I have page numbers on the top of the page for muti-page invoices, but this can be easily missed.

David,
I can get a blank page to print doing something like:
Group1 (groupBy Customer)
Group2 (groupBy Customer)
Detail
End Group2 (customer footer and beginNewFrame)
End Group1 (beginNewFrame if multi-page)
You will note two groups that groupBy customer. This addtional group will
need to be added using the source editor, as the designer will not allow you
to this (but will leave it alone once there).
I assume you are already using beginNewFrame to start a new page for each
invoice. To do a blank page, use the new upper level group footerBand's
onRender to do another beginNewFrame if the invoice is multiple pages.
Now about pulling from another tray, hope you got that worked out because I
have no clue how to do that
