I am writing a report that looks like this:

GH 1a - Student ID
GH 1b - SubReport (Student's Grade Report)
GH 2 - Faculty ID
GH 3a - Faculty and Term Info
GH 3b - Faculty Comments
Details - suppressed
GF 3 (New Page After)
GF 2 - suppressed
GF 1 - (New Page After)

GH 1 is repeated on each page.

My data includes students with multiple faculty members who each need their comment on a single page that shows the student's grade report at the top of the page. I'm sure you can see my problem - I need a new page after the faculty comment so that each faculty can have their own sheet of paper and I need a new page after the student record is complete so that the next student record begins at the top of the next page - so what I get is one extraneous header (grade record) at the change of each student group because of the way I have forced the pagination. There must be a better way to do this! Any ideas?
 
I may not understand this correctly, but I would think that a formula in the GF3 using NEXT might solve this.

next({studentid}) = {studentid}

Then you'll only kick a page when they're the same, the GF1 would then handle that page.

You understand perfectly and that works - Thank you so much!
