i want to print two crystal report pages on a single paper using code

Hello there, How can i print two crystal report pages on a single paper without user intervention? thanks,
Are you speaking of the capability of some printers to print 2 page images side by side on a single sheet ? If so, then you would need to configure the printer ahead of time, then send the report to that printer. Maybe I don't understand your question. :confused:

You could display your own print dialog and manually code to print more than one report. But this doesn't put two reports on the same page. Are you asking for them to be on the same page or just to print two different reports at the same time?
No, i am not looking for how to manually display my printer to print two pages on a single page. Rather I want to Send two crystal report pages say 1-2 to my default printer as a single paper document,ie, the two pages will be put on a single page output from my application before starting the print operation. is that possible?

I am giving you here an ideas not test them my self, neither I know if they are aplicable or no. #1 - In vfp reporting, there is an option to split the report into columns, where you design only the first column and when you run the report, the first column is replicated on the other columns with different data. Check if this feature exist in CR and it is suites you. #2 - If you can convert the CR document to image, then you can put these 2 images on host (word, excel, ie) and send them to be printed on 1 paper.
Like car accidents, most hardware problems are due to driver error. Samir R. Ibrahim

Thanks Samir, I am afraid there is such thing in CR. but I appreciate ur help. I m still waiting for someone to help on my idea
Commonly, this is left up to the printer driver, especially laser printers. I know HP drivers, at least, have the ability to rearrange the job so that you can print multiple pages of the document on one physical page. CrystalReports has no such option to do this itself.

But no longer in 2009...hello there, thank you guys over there who were giving me the idea to this question. I finally managed to solve my problem and might help also other to post here. 1.I just created two independent subreports on my main reports 2. I linked my main report parameters to subreports parameters so that when the parameter in main report receives values from the application it will pass those values to the sub reports parameters at runtime.
