Baffling error in Crystal Reports 8.5

[Kenny100]

Hi Folks

Hopefully this is the correct forum for my query. I'm running Crystal Reports 8.5. on WinNT and whenever I try and print out a certain report I get the error:

"The page size was not large enough to format the contents of an object in the report"

Does anyone know what I should look into to fix this?

Cheers,
Kenny.

Check that the page size the report has been designed for (File menu, Printer setup), matches the paper size available to the printer.

It sounds like you have an object which spills off the size of the page. It may need to be resized, or the paper size settings readjusted.

Yes, make sure that whe you are designing your reports you are not pinching the margins too tightly.

You must also remeber that printers are ging to view fonts differently. Some larger some smaller for the same size font. This minute adjustment could be enough to push something (text, image) outside the canvas boundary.

Some printers can also only support .5" margins and no less.

Use 'Zoom' to 75% or 50% to see if something is 'over the edge'

Use 'Can Grow' on a field that may contain a lot of text.

Try something like:

@ServerGroup Header :
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar MyTotal := 0;
numbervar TimeGroupCounter := 0;

@TimeGroup Footer (assuming this is the current group level for the RT):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar MyTotal := MyTotal+{#YourRunningTotal};
numbervar TimeGroupCounter := TimeGroupCounter+1;

@ServerGroup Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar MyTotal;
numbervar TimeGroupCounter;
MyTotal/TimeGroupCounter
