detail_format/print woes

A

Atlas

I want to split the report only once, when a certain condition occurs for
the first time only; so I've started putting a hidden line (black, 2pt) and
when the condition was met in the detail_format section, changed the visible
to true, changed a form global flag to false. That wasn't working either,
cause I've discovered that that section can be called more than once, and
even working on the formatcount property it wouldn't work.

So I've moved the code to the detail_print section and in preview mode it
was working perfectly.
When printing the line disappeared.

I've thought it could be a printer rendering buggy beheaviour so I stuffed
the code (in the detail_print section) to set a line break instead of
showing the hidden line, with Me.MoveLayout = True, Me.NextRecord = False,
Me.PrintSection = False statements.
Again perfect in preview mode, a big nice blank line, and again no line
break on paper!

What sould I do?

Thanks
