These two things are basic functionality that should exist from w/in VFP somehow.

My impression of this (I tried it before) was that I would have to remember to do it every time I edit a report or label file. I guess I could live with that if it works, however.

Also supposedly there is a way to define a form in this field.
WIDTH=xxxmm
HEIGHT=xxxmm
however that did not work when I tried it.

I will try to delete the info again and depend on the program to select the printer. Then I will have to instruct others to _not_ edit the report file w/out talking to me first.

Thanks

Anyone have any ideas on changing the formsize w/out have to create a form on every from the print manager?
