How to Set Size Margins for A Report? 1

[ffleitas]

Hello programmers,

How do you set unorthodox margins for a report that has a size of 8 1/2 x 5 (Bill of Lading) rather than the usual 8 1/2 x 11 and when it prints the first page the second page is automatically scrolled to start printing at the requested size of 8 1/2 x 5 instead of 8 1/2 x 11.

Thanks,
Felix

To use a custom paper size you have to create the paper size before you can use it. In Windows NT/2000/Xp, you do this by creating what is called a form, by opening the printers folder and from the file menu choosing "server" properties and creating a new paper size.

On 9.x platforms you have to do this by printer driver if your driver supports it.
