Setting the PageHeight for a custom report

rbuser

I am trying to implement a pos receipt. I think i have a formula to
calculate the page height. (This is very difficult do to the fact that some
of the fields are strechable)

I set the Report.PrinterSetup.PageHeight in the BeforePrint event on the
Report object.

The problem I am having is that the first page is ALWAYS the height set in
the printer setup dialog for the report. The second pageHeight is the
overridden value changed in the BeforePrint event. And, if I return to the
first page after viewing the second page the first page with now display
with the overridden value.

Thanks in advance.

Try setting the page height before calling Report.Print as a test. There is
some initializatoin that is setting the first page of the report up and it
may be toolate to try and cahgne the PageDef in the Report.BeforePrint
event. If you are loading a template, use the public
Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event (you have to assign the event handler at
runtime). See the templates thread in the Tech-Tips newsgroup for more info
on using templates.

Try setting the page height before calling Report.Print- what is the result?
