  Try to solve the problem with the scripting language. Define a variable in the data-dictionary and icrease this in the master-data band. Set the attribute formnewpage in dependence of the variable. I haven't try this but it should be the way to solve your problem.

  And wha about the next 2 pages? Are they change each other? One page with the first 15 column and one page with the remaining? Please clearify the problem. Because if the order doesn't matter, You can use 2 design pages and put the required fields on them separately. When You print the report the pages belongs to the first design page will be printed first and the pages of the second design page will be printed later.

  Alex : There is problem using your appraoch .
  Except 2 fields , I don't know which all fields are going to be there ,
  And even I don't know their order.

  Frank :
  I am working on your suggestion. But how do I link
  "formnewpage" attribute of Master data band with the
  Variable created in Data - dictionary .
  
  What I have done is in the variable's expression property chose
  the fn ..."NEWPAGE" ...am I doing it right.
  
  Waiting for inputs from you . Thanks once again

  Ok. I got it. I didn't understand your problem fully. See the \demos\prntbl1,
  \demos\prntbl2 or \demos\prntbl3 example reports. Or You can read the documentation in the fr_eng.doc file at the page 133 titled "Printing of column reports with variable or unknown number of columns".
  
  I hope this will help.

  Hello All
  
  Thanks for the suggestion basswar .
  My problem still not solved .
  
  I reffered to the printing unknown number of columns example.
  But it doesn't solve my problem completely.
  
  I'll try to explain my problem once again .
  There is record having 23 fields . ID, Name ,Type,Safetyrelated ........fld23 .
  Now as I cannot fit them in one page I need print few fields on 1st page and
  remaining on the next page . Now the catch is if I break the record in to two
  pages I need to have the primary fields is both the fields(in this ex ID and Name)
  Eg : Page 1
  ID, Name , Type.....Fld10
  
  Page 2
  ID, Name ,Safety related
  
  So how do i do it ? Any code snippets will be of great help .
  
  Regards
  Amar
