lhenry,
I'm not sure what you want to print on pages 2 and greater, but if you're looking to know how to control what's printed based on page number, here's what I do:
1. Drop a QRSysData field into the header. Set its Data property to qrsPageNumber and its Font.Color to clWhite (which effectively hides the content from the user).
2. In an appropriate OnPrint (or BeforePrint) event, either disable components in the header or change captions as needed. For example, here's an example of one way to use a Page Header to print a value only on the first page:
There are, of course, other ways to do this...
Hope this helps...

Hi, Lance,
Sorry for not having expresed myself clear enough.
The user is using preprinted paper. The title band is used to hold the invoice # and the customer's address. From 2nd page onwards, I'd like the detail band to start printing below the preprinted logo and address.
Thanks.

lhenry,
Well, the basic technique I outlined will certainly work for that. Just be careful to make certain your title band doesn't shrink and you should be fine.
To keep from having to throw in too many event handlers, just create one that disables all the printable controls in the header and then share that as needed.
Hope this helps...
