David It's called a "macro." Basically, you design a form, print it to file and strip out the printer resets. You'll then add a few commands at the beginning and end of the file which then ID the file as an overlay macro. You can copy this file to the printer and you're ready to go. In your application, you'll have to use a setup string for the first page of the report to activate the macro. There are some uttilities in the librarys here which allow you to do this. Search for macro. You can also do it yourself using print to file and using a good text editor.
