Hi! :)

Here is my problem:

====================================
I use Developper 2000: Report Builder 6.0.5.28.0
Forms Builder 6.0.5.0.2
My os is Windows 2000 Pro

====================================
I create 3 reports with report builder.
I need to print the first on "Legal" paper size.
The second on "Letter" paper size.
The Third on "A5" paper size.

I adjusted all the margin in all the report. In the live previewer,
all reports are fine.
The "Legal" report take 8 1/2 x 14 inch.
The "Letter" report take 8 1/2 x 11 inch.
The "A5" report take 8 1/4 x 5 13/16 inch.

The problem is when I do "File" - "Page Setup", the paper size is
always set to letter.
I think that is the default setting for my printer.

I don't know if there is some parameter that I can use to set the
default paper size for each report.

I don't want to manually set the paper size because these reports will
be run 40 times a day. And they will always be printed in order. I
can't regroup all the "Letter" report then proceed with the "Legal".

I will probably use Form Builder to run the reports.

The reason why I need the right paper size is simple. My printer
choose from different tray when the paper is set legal or set to
letter. And there is différent paper color for differents usages.

If you need more informations, just tell me.

Thank in Advance
Phil

Hi Philip,

Instead of everytime changing Page Setup once go to Report Layout Model and change Select the properties of Header Section, Main Section and Trailer Section then in properties you can see Width, Hieght, Orientation etc., try changing from there.

Hope it solve your problem.
