Are we talking DOS or Windows? In Windows, the margin should be rendered correctly regardless of the printer's "non-printable" area. On DOS it may be different. > I was unable to find the top margin setting in 6.5 or > 7.1? Am I missing it. I think so.

If you specify a 1 inch top margin, you should get 1 inch on any Windows compatible printer. > What I am doing now is > 1) I have 3 different claim forms set up, the only > difference is the data a little higher or lower on those > 3 reports. > 2) We can get 2 different pre-printed claim forms where > the only difference is one has the boxes 2mm lower that > the other one. (this 2mm shift is within Medicare's guidelines) You can use a technique to grow or shrink the page header if you want (at least in v7). I recall posting it already, but basically the idea is that you put a variable memo field there, set to a very, very small font size. Before the report prints, you get the user's "adjustment factor" (an integer) and create the variable with that number of line-feed characters. Make sure the page header is set to dynamic height, the memo field set to stretch, and any other fields in the page header to "Shift with Parent". This should give you an adjustment factor measured in millimeters. -- Larry
