I'm not sure about your question, but if you are using the DevMode structure ...

Because in the devmode structure, you got position 49(2dig) for
paperlenght, and pos 51(2dig) for paperwidth

You must transfert those 2 digit like this...

*paper length
cbuf=substr(cdevm, 49,2)
nhei=Asc(SUBSTR(cbuf, 1,1)) + ;
Asc(SUBSTR(cbuf, 2,1)) * 256 +;
Asc(SUBSTR(cbuf, 3,1)) * 65536 +;
Asc(SUBSTR(cbuf, 4,1)) * 16777216


same thing for paper width
...


In fact in win98 the papersize# is always 256
and win2k & + the number change as the user
define a form.

(see devmode struc. below)

If this could help you....
