Emergency-dynamically select and print reports 1

[amoeba102]

I have a report that is a receipt for classes that will run overnight. For each class, after the receipt it should print a requirements page. So the output should be something like:

receipt 1, req 1, req 2, req 3
receipt 2, req 1
receipt 3, req 1, re1 2

etc, with req 1... being any of 50 possible pages. I have all of the logic for selecting req. pages and building the receipt complete. My problem is that I can't seem to come up with a way to make the requirements sheets print after the receipts. Each requirement sheet is a .rpt file. I'm really under the gun on this one, so if anyone can assist I'd really appreciate it.

Why not insert these as subreports, each in its own section, turning the suppress attribute of each section on or off based on the logic you already have?

Hm, that sounds too easy. I had thought about something like this but couldn't figure out where I would put these sections so the pages didn't print before the receipt was finished and I got a new page before the next receipt. I know I'm missing something here.

You can place them in the Report Footer Sections (b, c, d, ...) and turn on the 'New Page Before' property for these sections.
