Need "extra" Page break so Group1 always starts on Odd-Page

Customer wants report to print out on both sides of paper
(2-sided printing, front and back).
Customer also wants the Main Grouping Header to "never" start on the back of a page (ie. Main Group should always starts on an Odd-number Page (on the frontside of paper)

My Conditional Group Formula CAN detect the Even-Pages:
Remainder(PageNumber,2) <> 1

But when I use this formula in the Group Header to force New Page before Header whenever PageNumber is Even,
in conjuction with the &quot;Standard&quot; New Page After Group Footer (after every Group),
I always end up getting just 1 page feed.
(I need 2 page feeds whenever a New District Header is starting on a Even Number page)

Is this possible?
Thanks for any suggestions

Found my own answer though still not sure why its working:

1st I disabed all existing New Page checks

2nd created Group1A and Group1B Footers, both blank sections

3rd add the SAME(?) conditional formula in both Group1A and Group1B Footers' &quot;New Page After&quot; event:
Remainder(PageNumber,2) <> 0

Results: Group1 Header always starts on and Odd-Page for 2-sided printing.
(If Previous Group1 ends on Odd Page, a blank page is inserted before Next Group1, else [if ends on Even] the Next Group1 starts (how?) on the next page [Odd]).

go figure! [sig][/sig]
