Report cover sheet

Hello All
When running sales quote for a range of documents i.e. remove the quote number, I want to insert a cover sheet for each document.
I have tried a number of approaches i.e. insert an integer data item but anything I do seems to corrupt the layout of document so that the standard header prints twice on one page etc.
(Probably due to the loops that are included)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello David,
I'm not understanding your problem, you want to print a range of documents twice each? Is that it?

Hi Afonso,
Its ok, I had to experiment with the Group Headers and properites within sections etc and the problem is now resolved.
Thanks for your reply it is appreciated.

David,
I ran into the same problem. How did you resolve this?0 -
Here's how I resolved it. This tip really comes from ara3n. He came up with it. Strangley, all of it is critical.
Instead of making the cover the page top level dataitem with "ordinary report underneath it", make them with the same indentation, but both of them children of a parent dataitem.
therefore
sales_invoice_cover_sheet
->sales_invoice_header
-> ->etc...
becomes
sales_invoice_parent
->sales_invoice_cover_sheet
->sales_invoice_header
-> ->etc...
Be sure to delete the body section from the parent.
In the body section of sales_invoice_cover_sheet, include what we want to appear as cover. In post section of sales invoice cover sheet body, call a page break.0
