Q about VFP9 reports

[Nifrabar]

Hi!,
I did not dig to much in VFP9-reports.
Nevertheless I am quit curious about this:
Is it easy to set left,right,top and bottom margins by the users once they want to run a report?

Bart,

Not really. The margins are decided at design time, and the user cannot easily override them. It's possible that the user's printer driver might let them set margins, but these would be additional to the ones designed into the report, not instead of them.

You might be able to achieve this by letting the user into the report designer, or by hacking the FRX file, but this won't be easy.

Remember, if the user could increase the left or right margins, the text in the report might no longer fit in the width of the paper.

Mike
