You can print to a dot matrix printer (physical impact printer) and they just continue to use their existing form. You set up the report to line up with the existing places on the physical form. This is a valid option. Or you could set up a form with a watermark that prints the info of who gets that copy printed in the watermark, perhaps even in different color inks. To do this you might need a different report for each property (to get the watermark) or you might be able to load the watermark as the report opens. Not sure on that. John W.

I have received a request to build a Purchase Order System for a client. The client currently uses a multi-part form for distribution. The Originator keeps the gold copy, Accounting gets the white copy, Receiving gets the yellow copy, and Purchasing keeps the pink copy. I was wondering if anybody had any words of wisdom I could offer the client to get around this issue. The only thing I can think of is to print the PO four times and have each print state the "Distribute To" info somewhere on the printout. I was just wondering if anyone had a better solution.
