OK - go back to your original report and select line44.  Then push the
properties button.  Change the line width to 4 pt, and maybe give it a red
color (255).  Also check the length to see if it's long enough to be seen.
Now you'll see where it was.

Found it!  Still can't see the blasted thing, but selecting all then
unselecting the visible objects one at a time left line44 which I deleted.
I am still not sure where it is, but it is gone.

Great!

Next, make another report copy and delete all the objects you can see.  Then
go to the Report Design toolbar where on the left side you can see the word
Report.  Click on the drop-down list.  This will give you a list of all the
objects that remain in the report.  From the list you can click on each one
to select it.  Select those objects one by one and you'll find the offender!

Well the drag I already tried, but the ctrl-A and deleting all objects broke
the spell.  I guess I will see if I can find the object again.

One thing that occasionally gets me is a line that is 'hidden' next to one
of the gray section dividers.  If you drag your cursor across these
dividers, you'll select the line, then you can move it.

Try selecting all objects (Ctrl+A) to see if any objects are selected at the
right edge of the report.  If any have the same color as the background of
your report (probably white) then you'll know they are there.

Try making a copy of your reports, then select all objects (ctrl+A), then
delete all the objects.  If you can now resize your report, then one of the
objects was the problem.

Also, try checking Page Setup to see what page width you've set up.

HTH!

I am creating a new report from an existing one, as they share many
attributes.  The new report is much narrower, so I want to print it as a
portrait report, instead of landscape.  Unfortunately, the report will not
resize narrow enough to do this.  I have removed all objects to the right of
the margin that I want, but the report width always springs back.  

Does anyone know why this would happen and how to correct it?  I have
dragged my cursor across the entire blank section looking for objects, but
have not been able to find any.  I have also saved it with different
printers and that has not stopped the problem.
