Customize Report Size?

Post by Chris_Mabry_(Guest) » Tue Feb 19, 2002 11:28 am

I want to cycle through certain flagged records in a db and generate a 4x6 barcoded label for each one. I^ve been through the page setup, but only find setup for some standard print sizes (letter, legal, envelope, etc.). Is there a way to customize the page size of a report?

OK, reading further in the help file (yes, should have done that in the first place) it says to set the custom page size in the properties of the printer itself.____Two questions then... I assume this means that the custom page settings of the printer override the page setup of the report? If so, when does the report^s page setup take control? Do I need to make a default setting in page setup to ensure the printer properties define the page size?____Sorry for all these stupid questions!

Once you set the custom page size dimensions in the driver, then in R&R you use File Page Setup and select Custom as your size and you will have the dimensions that were set in the driver.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Thanks for the quick response Kathleen.____I had gotten confused because I would go set my default printer and modify page settings in control panel, and the page setup within the report wouldn^t reflect the page options of the default printer. Once I set the printer driver options through the "print..." dialog, the changes showed up.____Thanks for your help.
