Same shipment/different trucks on a separate page...

This is a follow-up question to the above thread for some background information.

Essentially, I am creating a report that is a Bill of lading. I need each truck to printout on a separate page but they all seem to want to print on the first page.

I have the report grouped based on truck #. And I have the following report sections

Page Header:
Company Name/Title, Shipment Date, Locations, and other data that is common between the shipment trucks.

Details:
Truck Data, Quantity of Materials, other Truck weight etc.

Page Footer:

Disclaimer Statements, Date, Shipper, Signature Block.

It is unclear to me how to make it print identical pages with different truck content information. Any ideas?

Ok, it appears that if I put the "Header" section and the truck content under the "Truck" level grouping in the report....it will put all the contents on the correct pages. The only apparent remaining issue is that the "Page footer" appears to be functioning as a "report footer" as it creates two bills of lading, but there is only one footer section for both. Likely it's because it doesn't realize that they are separtate reports since nothing is now in the "header" section. Seems like i need to create a page break after each truck but it is unclear how to go about doing that.

There is a control that inserts a forced page break for reports. In the form design tools section, the page break control is right next to the combo box control
