What you'll need to do is create a custom paper size through the Windows Control Panel Printers applet; the details of doing so vary from OS to OS. Once you've defined a 7" long form, you need to go into the Printer Defaults tab of the printer's Property sheet and set that as the default form; create your report and go from there. If you do not leave the form size default set to the 7" form you've defined, you will wqnt to leave the printer settings in the Expr, Tag1 and Tag2 fields of the FRX alone - this will preserve the settings, but will reference the specific printer you've created the report on; if you need to support a variety of printers, you'll want to create a 7" form on each target machine, and then delete the OUTPUT and PRINTER entries in the Expr field and clear the Tag1 and Tag2 fields of the first record in the FRX file (you'll need to open it as a DBF and edit the affected memo fields by hand.)
