>Hi everybody,
>I designed a report with a group header,detail line,group footer.There is no page header or footer.Now I set the page as letter(8 1/2 by 11) in the page setup window and preview the report.Everything looks good.
>Now I tried to set the page as custom.I tried with width=850 and length=1100 as 0.01inches as unit.
>This time when I selected to preview it gave the message "Detail line is too large to fit in the page" and when I closed the message to go into the report designer window i see the window is shrunk widthwise loking allmost like a ribbon accross the window vertically.
>To set the designer window to its old look I have to go back to page setup dialog box and set the page to letter.
>Am I doing something wrong to set up the report page as custom size so that I can print in custom size paper.Actually I want to print the report in a dot matrix paper and that also in a custom size paper which is 8 1/2" by 12.45" or 8 1/2" by 13 9/16".
>Can somebody help me in this respect!!!

:( Custom Paper Size can't make Continuous printing!
You can try to hack the frx file and change the printer information!
Use MyReport.frx
Blank Field Expr, Tag, Tag2
Replace Expr with ;
"Papersize=256" + CHR(13) + ;
"PaperLength=" + varLength + CHR(13) + ;
"PaperWidth=" + varWidth
* Replace First record printer information? PaperSize 256 means Custom Size!
Use
** if you need LandSCape printing
add a line :
ORIENTATION=1
^-^; Good Luck!
