Thank you.
As commented above, an easy approach, with printers that support it, is to set Page properties to double sided, automatic or manual.
In case there is a urgent requirement to print, say odd or even pages, then some VBA code may achieve that.
The code works by first sequencing the records eligible for printing, then calls the report with the odd numbers, then with even numbers. A pause is set to allow for reversing paper.

Dim prt As Application.Printer
Set prt = Application.Printers("Name
prt.Duplex = acPRDPHorizontal
Now try printing your report.
If your report uses a specific printer, you'll have to get that Printer in the "Set prt" line.

Note too that "NameOfYourPrinter" is the name that VBA recognizes, which may be different than the name shown in Windows. You may need the user to verify which printer will be used before doing something like this.
