George,
Thanks for the response. I wasn't even aware of a _MFI_PGSET. I went to the help and it wasn't listed in the system menu names. I found it as a reserved word but nothing else. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks again.
>>In FPW 2.6 if you issued a MODIFY LABEL or REPORT in an application the user could change some of the page characteristics (columns, margins, etc.) in the Report menu that came up on the main menu bar.
>>
>>In VFP 5.0 these characteristics are handled via the File / Page Setup. The only problem is that _MFI_SETUP apparently is not available in applications and so the menu pad will default to Printer Setup (SYS(1037)) bypassing Page Setup.

>>Is there any way for a user of an application to change page columns, margins, etc. in a report or a label?

>>I'm new to VFP so any help would be appreciated.

I haven't had time to play around with it, but I think the solution probably involves pushing the main menu on the stack, replacing the file menu. Using a timer, I'd do the management of the PUSH/POP operation.
