Thanks, sounds like a lot of work and I don't have a lot of knowledge about .frx files and I am afraid it will be a lot of changes to .frx file.
I expected a little bit more 'modern' solution. Is there any?

The program makes a copy of the .frx report file, and then calculates, based on the data where each control should go, its properties etc. I have lines, boxes, linetypes, colors, text sizes etc. The user can select the size of output, and the control sizes etc. are scaled appropriately. Then the program makes the necessary modifcations and additions to the copy of the .frx file. When done it REPORT FORM MyNewReport TO PRINT. Works fine, but took about a week to do.
