Reports & Report designer
>>I have a couple of reports that generate mailer cards and billing statements. Some of our clients print them on dot matrix printers (tractor feed). These forms are 6" and/or 8.5" long. It seems that the Report generator doesn't let you control the page length and I'm stuck with the printer dialog's paper size selections which doesn't give me the size I need. Any ideas ?

Multumesc pentru sfat, Vlad.
Thank you for your advice. The only thing I can do is to define a custom paper size in the printer driver setup and then set PAPERSIZE=(papersize option number)in frx.Expr field. Or use the generic printer driver and work with my printer control codes.
I'll investigate the API to see if there is any function(s) that will let me change the paper size User defined values on the fly.
Thanks.
