Printing more than a report in the same PDF

[Massimo Boschini]

Thank you, it’s working…

Another question: do you have a solution for printing the second report without the first report form feed? In practice, I want the second report printed immediately after the first…
The best could be printing a report within a report, like 4th Dimension (do you know? http://www.4d.com), but I’m think that was impossible in O$…

Thank you very much…

Massimo.
