Is there a way of setting the size of page using a formula?

[phil2k]

I have been trying to setup a page for printing but CR8.5 keeps losing the page size. The report needs to fit on a landscaped 126mm x 201mm piece of paper, but if I set this up using Printer Properties and then save the report the next time I go to open it the formatting has reverted back to the system default.

Any suggestions will be welcome!!

Firstly, does the printer that is set up as the default printer on the machine on which you are developing the Crystal report allow for that size? Crystal is very fussy about this, and spontaneously overrides printer settings to what it knows is possible on the default printer - regardless of whether or not this will be the printer that is used in production.

Crystal is based on whatever the printer is capable of printing in the driver.
