Thanks Matt.

>From bitter experience this is the result of the printer driver being used by the client, so we include a "Modi Report" option on our own print dialog to allow the client to modify the report, adjust the dimensions etc.

You mean to allow them to open the FRX file and change the "PAPERSIZE" value in the EXPR column?

The problem with this is that even when using the same driver, the value the PAPERSIZE is set to is different for each machine.
For example. Lets say I have a custom report form that's 4.5 by 7 inches. The PAPERSIZE on my machine may be 125. But on my clients' machine 125 could be the standard letter size, even if they are using the same driver.

Thanks
