what is a duplex report?

[cancer2006]

Hi

Can anybody explain what is the purpose of creating a duplex report and what is so different about it? I read the thread number 703-1397286, which was pretty helpful. But I still need more clarification. I have not created a duplex report before.

Thanks.

Anything printed "duplex" generally refers to printed on both sides of the paper.

How would I check if the report is going to be printed on the both sides of the page, If I don't have access to the
printer?

I did a print preview. But it was as usual.
Thanks.

Private Sub PageHeader_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
If Me.Page Mod 2 = 0 Then
    Me.PageBreakInHeader.Visible = True
      'MsgBox "Page is Even "
    Else
    Me.PageBreakInHeader.Visible = False
    'MsgBox "Page is Odd "
End If
End Sub

You can check the printer properties prior to printing. This depends on your printer since not all printers support duplex printing.

I am adding the page break control in the footer section of the report.

Will it print a blank page at the end of the report?
Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you put a page break control in a report footer section. It seems like it would take you less time to test this on your own then it would to ask the question here ;-)

"...I don't have access to the printer..."

What?

If you do not have access to the printer, why are you asking questions about how to send to the printer?

I am confused!
