It never stopped calculating pages - or I stopped it after several thousand pages calculated and still no report. There were only supposed to be three pages. I was doing this to look for solutions to printing on dot matrix printers. We have fanfold paper that's 11 wide by 8.5 high. I can't use the landscape option for the printer set-up. I tried custom, but the doesn't work right - the print wraps around instead of going across the page. I've tried everything I could think of. Tried the Margin_width below. I tried printing to a ETXT file, then Output printer, set width 236, type filename, output screen. That doesn't do anything different. We really want to print to ETXT files, then print files to printer later. I tried Print reportname option printer |paper_width 11 |paper_height 8.5 But that can't find the top of form after the first page. The width works though. I love dos. I'm so sorry I ever agreed to convert.

All Current page Pages If you selecting All try Pages and put in the page range. See if it acts differently. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [RBASE-L] - using margin options in reports From: Patti Jakusz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, August 19, 2008 12:50 pm To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to use the Margin options in reports. I have a simple 3 page report that I've been trying to print to the screen. I've tried using inches first. I cancelled it after it calculated about 2000 pages. Then tried characters - same thing. Then I tried printer pixels. Still no good. I'm trying this route because our paper size is not listed in the printer options. print OUTNEW order by TEAM, STAFF, FULLNAME where CENTER=.vcenter + OPTION SCREEN + |MARGIN_TOP 0 + |MARGIN_LEFT 0 + |MARGIN_RIGHT 840 + |MARGIN_BOTTOM 1320 Any idea what I doing wrong? Thanks, Patti
