I understand. This will be a big job for me since my app has 100s of reports, in different modules and I will need to "fix" them all.
Btw, I have a customer in Aruba (and I see that you are in Aruba) and they have never asked for reports to be printed to A4 size paper. I suppose I was lucky there.
Thank you!
