Changing the report margins

[AndyApp]

Does anyone know how to change the margins on a report?? Driving me insane, I need them to be more like Word size ones rather then the huge margins Access wacks in. "Life is like a Ferrari, it goes to fast.

Cheers,

There are people on the internet saying I have to write Macros and stuff?? Strange. If I save this file as an MDE and put it on someone elses computer will the margins remain the same for them or is it specific to the particular Access you set it up in? "Life is like a Ferrari, it goes to fast.

Hi

Each report definition may have different margin / orientation etc, so it must be saved with the Report definition, and thus will be carried into the MDE.

I think the other s must be advising you how to do this in code, but unless you want to change the settings at run time, or generate a report definition in code, there is no need to define margins in code.

Be aware ther eis a bug in A2K before SP1 which causes margin settings to be lost, so if you are using A2K check your service pack level

Hope this helps Regards
