Hi Marcelo, Since you want to use two different templates, you'll need two separate Generate Report actions. This will result in a separate pop-up for each template, there's no way around that. To stop the second pop-up when there are no records to print for that template, you can set up some test flags. You'll ...

I have an invoice template with 4 lines in the address box, "billed to address 3" is set to shrink since not all my customers have this. I print my invoices in preprinted paper, when the line 3 grows, it moves the other fields in the template and they don't lined up with the invoice. How can I fix this?

Thanks again for the ...
