>Using FPD26 (still have clients who refuses to upgrade!). Trying to print info on pre-printed checks using Report Writer but can't seem to control the page length. I set the page length in Page Layout option to 40 rows but when printing it automatically ejects to 66 rows (for 8 1/2 x11 standard size paper). I have always printed my reports from a .prg file where I have more control but I want to use RR for this feature because of simplicity. I guess it isn't that simple. Can anybody tell me how to print only 44 rows on each page?

John, my experience with odd-size pages on pre-printed forms has been VFP3, but I ended up sending printer commands directly to the printer with the ??? (3 question marks) command. I had to re-set the page length at the beginning of each print job.

My program runs on a network, with several printers, so I added a textbox to show the default printer and a getprinter() command so users could change printers intead of sending invoices to the laser printer.

I DID find that the same command worked on about 4 different printers, which was all I needed, since the program was only installed in a few places.
