Conditional Page Throw

I'm looking for help on how to throw a page so that when printing duplex (both sides) a group will start on an odd page number eg 1, 3, 7, 9 etc. My large report needs to be split up into departments. I don't want a department starting on the reverse side of a sheet of paper.

Your help would be appreciated.

First make sure that the location of your table/list is 0,0.

Then edit the group and check both the properties "page break at start" and "page break at end". Since your table/list is at the top, "page break at start" will not be effective so your first page will have data and from the subsequent groups, the page break will be applied at the beggining and also at the end.

But you cannot stop the beginning page break if your group ends on page 2 (reverse of page 1) which means your second group (new department) will start from page 4 (reverse of page 2). I hope Microssoft provides an expression for page break conditions in future releases.
