Hi Gustav - in this report each voucher has a header (item header) with a description of the item and the detail section may have 1 or up to 5 items relating to that item. So fixing the detail height doesn't solve it because it will repeat depending on whether the item has 1,2,3,4, or 5 recs. I need to specify that the whole report take a max of 9.0 cm height, which allows for my 5 detail recs. I have had a play with using the top property on my item header's 'format' event, but no luck. If I could get the beginning of each of the 3 repetitions of the report to start at 1, 10.9 and 20.9 cms. respectively instead of moving around that's all I need. This client uses paper with perforated sections for easy detaching into vouchers. eg. ----------------------------------- | Item Header | | detail rec 1 | | detail rec 2 | | | | | | | |----------------------------------| | Item Header | | detail rec 1 | | detail rec 2 | | detail rec 3 | | detail rec 4 | | detail rec 5 | |----------------------------------| | Item Header | | detail rec 1 | | detail rec 2 | | detail rec 3 | | detail rec 4 | | | ----------------------------------- Kath ----- Original Message ----- From: Gustav Brock To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2003 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] Custom report page length - A2K - Urgent! Hi Kath > I am printing vouchers - 3 per page on an A4 sheet. > I thought this would be dead easy - but how do I set a custom paper size? You don't - because the paper size is A4. Remove any headers and footers and adjust the detail section to use 1/3 of the paper height excluding top/bottom margins. This assumes you are printing in portrait with the vouchers filling the width of the paper and 1/3 of the height (99 x 210 mm, h x w), although you write that the page is divided horizontally - but that would be a very strange format (297 x 70 mm, h x w. Or w x h in landscape). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
