Tim Miller I have done exactly the same thing as you. If you are printing U.S. Customs forms, Immigration forms etc. let me know as I have already done most of the work converting from nine to five software to revolution. I have the data stored in mysql and when accessed sent to runrev cards that are the 8.5 X 11 and print them with:
on mouseup set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0 open printing with dialog print card from 0,0 to 612,792 close printing end mouseup As far as I can tell the margins are whatever the printer will allow. I have had some trouble with landscape printing and still haven't converted everything over as nine to five software reports is such an incredible program it is very hard to duplicate it.
