you can use FormSize I think it works well: - Create a new form with the required dimensions from the print server properties - use the form created : DCPRINT ON TO ... FORMSIZE <form> ------------- Best Regards Thank you and as soon as everyone leaves me alone I am doing it. Can you relate?

Yes I am using DCPRINT. I have been interrupted way to much today and have not had any time to work on this again.
