>>>If you want to save printer settings you should click a checkbox at report menu (I cannot remember at this time, I'm an AX developer at daily work and don't have VFP). After click this, your report should save your printer and page settings. It was like (I'm not sure) save printer settings...

Or I use an older VFP.
Also I do the following for other problems.
I include the frx into the exe

At runtime I create a copy of the frx to some folder, maipulate this copy and run it.

But this will not help for that, because this is to tricky for my costumer.

I have now solved the problem at customers site with report column, the pageheight comes from the printer anyway. One day to travel ...
