Reza,

Yes, new problems started showing up with custom forms in XP that used to work okay in Win98 for me and my clients also.

The only way I've been able to get them to work consistantly is to open the report as a table and delete the contents of the fields Expr, Tag, and Tag2 of the first record. Have you tried this?

Everytime you open the report in the Report Designer, the printer information is put back into these fields so you need to check the fields and delete their contents anytime the printer information reappears.

>>I checked in the page setup of a report, and I see what you mean. A custom paper size named billing did not show up.
>>
>>In the paper size window of the report printer setup, I typed the letter b and opened the dropdown and it was there?? Strange!

>>Hopefully this will work for you.

>>>Yes , I use from "Save Form" and i can see defined size in "Print Server Properties" window, but it is not show in page setup window.

>>>>What I meant to say was, between your Steps 4 and 5 to define the custom paper size there is a "Save Form" button on the Print Server Properties screen that is used to save your new custom size form.

>>>>>i set printer setting in report manually . i want to can select custom paper size from list in page setup. but the created custom size is not present in list of page setup.
