>>>>I tried switching REPORTENGINE from 80 to 90. With that setting a number of accounting reports with a lot of columns squeezed onto a page print the *** showing the text box is not wide enough to fit the formatting. I'm already using as small a font as possible and the dollar formatting is as short as I dare. Is there any easy fix to this or do I need to rework a whole lot of reports?

To all,
We decided to set the default back to 80. As we go through reports that really could benefit from the 90 features or reports that need a redo we will simply turn 90 on for that report only and fix the layout. We already do this with set enginebehavior for old verses new SQL runs. It's a very large complex management system and will take some time to bring up to todays standards.
Thanks to all for the input.
