Garry,

Am I reading this right?... Is getting the 1-500/500-1000 split here the
main issue?  If so, you could make a calculated field in the query that
the voucher report is based on, like this...
 FirstSort: ([Reference Number]-1) Mod 500
... and then sort descending on this field in your report, followed by a
secondary sort on the actual reference number field.
(assuming Reference Number is a number data type).
I think this will produce the results you want... first page will print
with records 500 and 1000, next page will print with records 499 and
999, etc, last page to print will be records 1 and 501.

Steve, I might not of explained very well, let's have another go !

Say 3 records have a ref no of 333,

2 have 444

1 have 555

If I just print two vouchers per A4 sheet I get ( sorted ascending by ref
no )
333 / 333, then 333 / 444, then 444 / 555

Cut in half and placed one stack underneath the other I get
333,333,444,333,444,555 (know out of sequence)

The required sequence is  333,333,333,444,444,555

Thanks for your time, Garry
