That's exactly what i did. I choodes 2100x1485 in order to have exactly half/page reports, or in other words print two reports per page. When i do the change in the printer driver, i can see this in the report designer. When i save and come back, it's back to the minimum width ( i.e 6.... inch ).
In the meantime, i had to write a very complicated skip mechanism and designed the report in such a way it will print half a page, skip into the data, and print the other half.

Thanks for the help, i'll try also what you say with some other program than VFP, to see where the problem is.

>Hi Jaime. I use custom paper size in most of my reports and it's very simple for me. All you have to do is set the custom paper size directly in the printer driver's properties sheet. Once you have defined the paper size in your printer driver any report trying to use this paper size will get the one you defined. For a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" I set the unit to inches, set width to 850 and length to 550.

Why do programs stop working correctly as soon as you leave the Fox?
