What's wrong with your idea?
You can write a wrapper program that will copy your report to the temporary table, make changes there and print modified report.

>Need to print 8 lines/inch instead of 6 lines/inch using normal 10 point font.

>Situation:
>Using the report writer, I need to have the 10 point font print but also need to print at 8 lines per inch. I cannot overlap the fields on the report otherwise it will kill the print when (not empty) condition
>
>If I hack the FRX and set the height to 1500 all is OK even in the designer, but as soon as I "select" it, it springs back to the 6 line per inch height.

>Is there a way to shorten the height (outside of the FRX hack) of the fields or a global report setting that will make it 8 lines per inch?
