How To Change The Paper Size Before Printing In Data Report.
I have a problem regarding producing the summary report of the inventory system I am developing in our company. The problem is that I cannot produce a report in data report that is longer than A3 size of a bond paper.

Set Paper Width In Data Report
I need help getting my data report to print correctly.

I am trying to print to a Genicom Line Printer using Green Bar Computer paper. The Printable area of the paper is 10.5"Hx14"W. I have tried to change the Report Width property to 20160 and the Height to 15120
the report width change takes, but the Height defaults to 11520.

When the report is called I get the "Report is wider than paper" error. I have changed the orientation to rptOrientLandscape, but the text prints vertically across the lines rather than along the lines on the paper.

How can I tell it that It is printing on the computer paper and not on a standard sheet of paper.

If this does not make sense or there is information that I need to include please let me know. I am on site trying to solve this problem and could really use someones help.

Thank you in advance for your help

Edit:
Is my question ill-posed, or is it just one of those bizarre questions that is difficult to answer? Or...is it one that should be in the Recycle Bin due to its simplicity

Thanks again in advance

Programatically Change Paper Size In Access 97
Hullo. You know that frustrated feeling you get when you know you are about finished with a niffty project, but can't quite make it click? That's where I'm at now.
The situation: Access97 database to track service level responses. db is "locked" using the Startup options in Access, to prevent users from touching the tables manually. Works fine and dandy. Report for printing said responses works fine and dandy designed on Legal paper.

The problem: Users cannot change the paper source for the report, so the staggering majority of them, who had last selected Letter in their other Access db's cannot change to Legal for this. I know that with PrtDevMode I can do the mojo I want, but, my poor blonde brain is having a meltdown figuring out how.

If standard wisdom is, "Just keep pounding, and you'll eventaully get it" I can live with that. I'll buy stock in the aspirin company, but, I'll deal. I'd rather not, though. If somebody has already blazed this trail, I'd gladly follow in their Wenceslas-ian footsteps, and be warmed by their knowledge and effort.

If further explaination or questions need to be asked, please let me know.

Many thanks!
