>I have an application that prints data on a pre-printed insurance form (UB92). Though the alignment is fine at one location / printer it is "off a bit" at another location. I cannot simply move the fields in the report because I need the report to be correct universally. Is there a way I can prompt the user (and store the data) to enter +/- beginning margins (top/left) and have the form adjust according to these parameters. Thanks in advance...

Jamie,
I'm interested in a reply to this as well. As far as I know there is no easy way. I've always just assumed the that alignment was to a specific printer driver and printer model. Most of the time it was basically printed fields that had to be lengthened, if possible. The vertical positioning has usually never been a problem.
I do have one customer where I have excluded a report (with very tight requirements) from the app and each user has the app running locally from their C Drive. The app looks for the report form in the relative location of "\Reports". There are two different HP models that run the same report and I have a different report (but the same name) from specifically aligned for the printer the user uses. I know this is klunky but it works.
There is probably some one out there that has created a utility that uses the FRX and infrements the vpos and/or hpos values.
Again I'd like to see it too.

Good Luck
