Unless you tell filePro otherwise, it will print as many records on a page 
as will fit.

So don't give filePro any sort information.

Except for @T4, all of those will *not* print in record number order. 
(Unless every record was updated on the same date, or last update [or 
created by] the same person.)

The "f" will force a page break.

You say you don't need to have it sorted, so don't.  Leave the sort 
information blank.

In that case, you *do* need a specific sort order.  However, unless you have 
a field containing an incrementing value, there is no guarantee that all the 
records will come in the order you want.

And, what you you mean by the order they were "created or updated"?  If I 
create records A, B, and C, and then update B, what order do you want?

If you are only getting one record per page, then you have done something to 
tell filePro to do so.

What is the exact sort information you currently have?

Do you have any PAGE commands in processing?
