Thanks Duncan - Its taken a while to sort out the logic, but like most things in VB once you have, you wonder why you didn't think of it before. Anyway its all sorted now so thnks for your help.

Thanks Dave, I've tried this in just about everyway that I can think, the problem is that each section could be a number of pages long and it seems that when I pass it as Printing.PrintPageEventArgs so that each sub routine can check to see if there are any more pages using HasMorePages, the event is fired from both within the subroutine and the main PrintPage routine! if I pass it as a Graphics object than there's no way of checking to see if it will fit on one page or how to add one if it needs more (the old VB6 way was easy)

First post here so please be patient, I wrote some software for the company that I work for in VB6 for Scheduling and quoting construction based projects and am upgrading to VB 2008, not a problem except for the printing, The user had several check boxes and option groups which related to which pages were printed, the first was a cover page, second page a preamble, third page list of doors etc all taken from different sources, in VB6 it was pretty simple to create a printer object (called myPrint) call the various page sub routines and to put it together example as below:

Select Case True
Case frmPrint.optAll(0).Value = True 'materials listing
MyPrint.NewPage
PProductListingA
Case frmPrint.optAll(1).Value = True 'bill of quantities
MyPrint.NewPage
PBOQsA

Obviously we've lost the NewPage which has been replaced with HasMorePages from within the PrintPage method, I've spent about a week now trying to call the various sub routines from within this and quite simply have hit a brick wall. Lots of examples on the web to point me in the right direction but they all seem to be based around a single block of text printed over various pages, help. I just need a pointer in the right direction.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfotunately it still only deals with a multi page single source document as opposed to a different document on mulitple pages.
