I don't know if this issue has been covered here before, but I have a group that could print on one page or infinity pages. If the group finishes on an odd numbered page, I want to print an additional page with everything suppressed (page header/footer). If the group finishes on an even numbered page, then nothing needs to be done. It will duplex correctly. I can't just suppress the page header/footer on even pages b/c there may be data on that page. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Excluding a report with infinity pages, you might place the following in the New Page After of the group footer:

pagenumber/2 <> abs(pagenumber/2)

-k
 
Another approach is to create the additional page by inserting a second group footer section sized to fill an entire page. Then format this for both new page before and new page after. Also format this group footer section to suppress by using a formula:

remainder(pagenumber,2) <> 0

Then format the page header field by going to ->format field->common->suppress->x+2 and entering:

remainder(pagenumber,2) = 0 and
{table.groupfield} <> next({table.groupfield})

-LB
