Dennis,

If I understand the problem correctly, you still might be able to use the suggestions. For the purposes of this example, I'm going to assume that the horizontal positioning isn't much of an issue. Even if it is, I still think, with some adjustment, this might be the basis for a solution. Here's how I would attack the problem.

First, I'd create a template report for the output. This report form in reality, however, will never be used to actually print a report.

Next, since I assume that there must be some mechanism for the user to indicate the particular paper being used (for the size of the logo or whatever). I create another table that would serve two purposes: 1.) Basis for user selection via a list; and 2.) Storing the relative horizontal and vertical positions for the data output.

Now when it comes time to print a report, I open the template (with USE...), and copy it to a temporary table with:

COPY TO TEMP_RPT.FRX

This will also create the FRT memo file.

After closing the template, I next USE TEMP_RPT.FRX, and then:

REPLACE ALL VPOS WITH VPOS + (PAPER.VOFFSET * 10000) FOR INLIST(OBJTYPE, 5, 8)

Where PAPER is the name of the table containing the paper types and corresponding position. VOFFSET is the field containing the additional number of inches downward to move the data.

After closing the table, I then do REPORT FORM... with it, and once that's done delete both the FRX and FRT files. (I don't like junk hanging around the directories).

I hope that this at least provides you with some ideas that might help you find a solution.
