>I am trying to design a report that fills in blanks on a preprinted form using FPW 2.6. Once I am aligning it for use on one printer, the field alignment changes and the report is unusable. Also the alignment does not seem to match the rulers on the Report Designer.

As far as I know, this problem doesn't have a very good solution. The look and the aligniment of a report in Windows always depend (not much, but sometimes enough:)) on the selected printer. You can see the same behavior in MS Word, MS Excel, etc. This is because of the different printer resolutions.

You can make a FoxPro for DOS report and send it to the printer. The problem is that you can't choose the printer settings in the same way.

Or, you can print the report as ASCII. In char mode, the look of the report is always the same.
