no, i use different table for each break. and some tables go on somes
pages without break (repeatRows is great !, i did'nt find it on the
api-reference book ?).

my problem is to change the page header depends on the data of the page.
If i use onPage, when onPage occur i don't know wich data is on the
current page without gymnastic.

i build my story like that :

for row in recordset:
    if breakrow:
        close the table
        story.append(table)
        story.append(foot of the table)
        if breakthepage:
            story.append(break the page)
    else:
        table.append(row)

for the page header, i used onPage=myheader
but on myheader i don't know which row is curently print in the current
page...

shall i use a different pagetemplate for each break ? but i will need to
break the page each time...

thanks
