Hi John

I have had similar problems, and found that there are a couple of things 
that can contribute.

Sime printers have a minimum margin.  If the margins of your report are less 
than the printer's minimum, then the printer will override your settings.

Some printers have built in fonts that differ (ever so slightly, but can be 
enough to stuff things up) from the equivalent Windows font.

Maybe one of these is relevant.  Have you tried experimenting with slightly 
reducing the size of the report design?

Regards
Steve

Subject: [AccessD] one page report

I have a system which I distribute on a runtime.  It has a report which has 
to be done on top of an
image so that it precisely looks like an original state document.  It all 
works fine on my system
but on the client it runs over onto two pages.

AFAICT this is an issue with the default printer being different.  What I am 
trying to discover is
how to create a form where, regardless of the printer selected, it will only 
be on one page.

Any ideas on this?
