>>Hi Mike, I tried that and it doesn't make any difference - in the preview pane you can see the window increasing in width and height but when you press ok "lots of nothing happens" , also, when you view the properties they have reset to standard ( weird ? )

I tried about a hundred things and none of them really worked. It seemed like a case of the OS insisting it was smarter than the user....

From XP, there are two things to watch for if you're setting that - Properties for the current window, and Defaults to set them for future windows of the same name. I presume it's similar in Vista.

I actually have a FPD 2.5 program running under XP, and it's held us back (thankfully!) from moving to Vista, because Vista flat WILL NOT print what the program tells it to.
