Hi Olivier,
The example in the docs for the command PAGE SETUP is indeed kind of what I am
talking about.
But instead of having different forms with a scaling setting I have different
page setup forms with a “paper size” setting (A3 portrait, A3 landscape),
because also forms with a scaling set
It is really a database problem of managing all of the various rules of
different locations. Postgres has this built in. If you don't want to use
Postgres, you still might find the data you need to add to your 4D
implementation. See list below of 79 distinct zones.

After trying various complicated methods of calculating the different time
zones, the final method was actually quite simple.
I needed to set up an email-sending routine to send emails out at 7AM for
each time zone. This is what I have. This is currently being tested :)

Hi Piotr,
I guess, you are doing what is described in the documentation for PAGE SETUP:
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.4/PAGE-SETUP.301-3978038.en.html
The idea of "AUTOMATIC SCALED PRINTING" ?
Am I correct, that the goal is to print a list scaled in order to fit on a
"standard" size (e.g. A4).
Hi Miyako,
Thanks for your anwer.
Ok, I understand what you are saying, and in some cases I already use the SET
PRINT OPTION command
But when I want to print a report without interaction with the user, and I want
to print it to a certain paper size, I can do two things I guess:
1. Use SET
It used to be that if you didn't call PAGE SETUP you'd end up with really weird
and random print job settings, like copies etc.. You had to tie this
command to the page setup information saved with the form with a reasonably
similar printer.
So it's no longer needed at all?

there should be no reason to use PAGE SETUP, although there is nothing wrong
about using it.
it's just a convenient shorthand that dates back to the times when 4D had far
fewer commands.

Hi all,
I am working for over 20 years with 4D now, but still I am having troubles with
printing reports on Windows / OSX
On forehand I want to say it sure can be me that is the problem😊
The most problematic is when I want to print a lot on a report and scaling
comes in to play
Because scaling
