>I do think you are correct, however my Expr field does not show the same content as yours, in mine it has 'Papersize = 9' for A4, and since 11x17 inch or to be precise 11 17/24 x 16 13/24 inch = A3, user has to set to A3 (find the papersize id for A3), provided his printer can handle that.

Koen, whenever you edit a report the editor resets the Expr field to known values to the system. If you have a custom paper size in your system that matches exactly the report dimensions, then the id of that custom paper size will be used (for instance, PAPERSIZE=389). However, this is not or may be not portable to another system.

Hence, the need for explicit dimensions which are reset, unfortunately, after each modification of the report.

Maybe there's a workaround to circumvent this, but the only way that I know of is to rebuild the Expr field immediately after the report is saved.
