Agree. If page 1 has anything other than basic boilerplate then a subreport is really the only way you can do it.

I think it can be done in another way. with running total fields, but you have give some for info for that.
basically, you add a an extra field of what you want to show, add a running total on that field, which counts how many times it is shown and than supress the field when running total <>2.
but first explain yourself some more.

It is a Work order packet. The first page lists the material that will be used for that order.
We want the first page to print twice.
There are 2 sub reports on this Page.
These reports are for our ERP system called Sage X3 and are quite complicated.
I tried just copying the data on the first page twice but I get errors from our ERP system. It looks like its looking for more parameters which are called out in the 2 subreports.
This may be over my head.

Is page 1 in the main report header?
Is it only showing the 2 subreports?

I finally was able to get the 1st page to print twice. The 2 subreports embedded in that page made it difficult.
I added GH1b as a report header and copied GH1a

The only way I can think to do that is to put the information in a second time. Assuming it is basically information not related to records in the database it should work.
