We recently recieved some new invoice forms and I was editing them, I have one of those rulers and everything seems fine and in the right place but when we try to print it gives me a,,field overflow has occured during printing,,,I checked the form and can't seem to figure out why???
 
It's probably how you formatted one of the number fields. They need to be at least 1 character larger than what you are actually printing. If you format a number field as 12 characters and 2 decimals; it lets you choose whether you want comma's, decimals or dollar signs. If the field showed a format at 9,999,999.99- that would be 13 characters and in theory, you would be able to see numbers up to the millions. However, if you get that large where it's using that last field to the left, you'll get the field overflow.
