I tried the below syntax, and while it doesn't error, it seems to be ignored. I looked in VFP6 help file, and it gives the usual "Included for backward compatibility" message. I tried both the file and general field syntax, and neither seems to work.


>John, it sounds like you're using an NT/2K/XP machine, correct? If so, you can set paper size by going to Start: Printers: File: Server Properties, and adding the new paper size there. Then, you can use MSKB#Q304639 HOWTO: Find PaperSize for Custom Print Sizes Under Windows NT/2K to figure out what to plug into your report.

>However, I'm not convinced this will solve your problem. Receipts are a dynamic length, so unless you're going to calculate the length in advance and use the Windows API to plug that into your custom form, you'll still have the footer printing way at the bottom.

>Have you tried the @...SAY BITMAP format? According to the VFP3 help, the syntax is:


@ nRow1, nColumn1
SAY cPictureFile BITMAP | GeneralField
[STYLE cFormatCode]
[CENTER]
[ISOMETRIC | STRETCH]
[SIZE nRow2, nColumn2]
- Or -
@ nRow1, nColumn1 SAY GeneralField
VERB nOleCommand | cOleCommand
[NOWAIT]
