What is page 1?

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.

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?

Everything in page one is in  Group Header 1a.
Is there any way to print the Group Header twice?

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

Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
