Tracy,
What I said about Xp I think also applies to Win2000 (I had forgotten )

In Win 98, when you went into the Printer Driver , and selected Paper Size, there was usually Letter, A4, Us Std Fanfold but also an option called User Defined, where you could specify both the Height and the width.

I usually went in here and defined a new printer with the exact dimensions that I wanted. I then pointed the FRX to this and it worked fine.

But now , In Xp (and 2000) the option for User defined Size is gone !!
I could not face at this stage going back to @ say ....surely there must be another way !!!!

regards,

Gerard










>Under W2k were you printing reports on special size paper using the VFP report generator? Or were you using ?? or @...says to accomplish the printing? I have had to use ?? or @...says to print to special sized paper in w2k so I would be interested in knowing your solution in Windows 2000. It is my understanding that in Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP (all NT really) that the form has to be setup in windows as a pagesize in order to do this.
