At last year's SW Fox conference I presented a session called "OutFox the VFP Report Writer" .. and one of the things I showed was how to take any report and shrink it down. I showed how to shrink it to smaller paper as well as shrink it so that you can print two or more report pages on one sheet of paper (rotating from landscape to portrait or vice versa if necessary). I even showed how to take a report that happens to just overflow to a second page .. and trick it so that it shrinks the info enough that it generates the report on one complete page.

I've been hammering this List for some time to come up with a solution where I want to print a report well outside the scope of the printer available i.e. some 50 columns of data that JUST fit on an A2 sheet. But of course, I don't have a A2 printer. Today, I'm in Papua New Guinea and the IT man says to me, "why not send the report to the Adobe PDF printer in A2, and then print from Adobe which has a auto scaling method" This man is paid about 10 Kina per hour (as in US$3 or thereabouts.) It works absolutely perfectly.
