Default Adding a duplicate page to a report

A single page report has a page header, a teacher header, a program
header and a detail section. It gives me exactly what I want. However,
I need the report to be two pages long, the second page being an
identical copy of the first page and I can't figure out how to achieve
this. I need to do this to overcome a duplex printing issue: if I ask
the report to print twice (via DoCmd.PrintOut , , , , 2), the printer
passes the the paper through the duplexer but prints each copy, single-
sided, on a separate piece of paper. I suspect that if I make sure the
report contains two identical pages then the duplex printing will give
me what I want. Many thanks for any pointers

Thanks Allen. That's a useful resource. I think I've cracked it by
saving the main report as a subreport and then bunging the subreport
into the Program footer. That gives me two identical pages

Best
