>I want to print the payslip in a 8X6" Paper size. In the Preview It seem like no problem, It displays one record in a page. But when print to printer, it ejects the whole A4 paper size. How to make eject on the 8X6" size?

There have been some recent threads about this kind of thing. As I recently confirmed for myself, the best bet seems to be outside of VFP! Apparently Windows overrides the settings in your report form or hard-coded lines of printing -- even if you squirt the printer initialization string out directly with ??? or whatever before printing. Try this: Change the page setup settings for your printer driver in Windows itself to use a custom page size set as you desire (ie: Start--Settings--Printers--Rt-click-Properties-Page--Custom). In our case it was checks -- we had a check form with 8 x 7 inch layout and used a custom page size of 800 x 700 at 0.1 inch per increment. So far its working just fine. God, I hate Windows!
