  you need to create a multi design page report, IIRC there is a couple of demos in the binaries newsgroup.

  I did actually, but it prints Page1 first (n copies) then Page2 (n copies), where n = number of records in the dataset.
  
  I want to print it in this order: (Page1, Page2), (Page1, Page2), ..., (Page1, Page2)
  
  Also I could'n find any demos in binaries newsgroup.
  
  Thanks.

  I did but it doesn't make any difference.
  
  Anyway, I'm exporting the report to PDF first and then I print it.
  It doesn't collate regardless of I print the report or I export it to PDF.

  OK, I found the example but it doesn't help me too much.
  The problem is that I made a report builder using FR engine (runtime designer) and I can't write any Delphi/BCB code to manipulate the reports programatically.
  The only code that I can write is via the scripting engine.
  So basically I have a group header that creates a new page (StartNewPage = true) for every record. Now depending on some DB field values every new page will be displayed portrait or landscape.
  I have tried to change the page orientation by script but it doesn't work.
  Is what I want achievable?
  
  Thanks.
