Imagine last minute check before deploying the database , found that one the report has this error which is now proving difficult to sort out :

"The sum of the top margin, the bottom margin, the height of the page header, and the height of the page footer is greater than the length of the page you are printing on"

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Regards

Chris

    Well thank you Duane Hookom , last night  I decided to recreate the report again even if it is a bit involving since a standard report  wizard cannot archive the required format , so far so good it is now 80% done  in all areas it working work. Now I want to see what happens after inserting the final controls tonight.

    Regards

    Every report section has a height property. Can you provide current heights of all sections as well as the top and bottom margins?

    Reduce the heights?

    Different printers will have different printable areas. I have only seen this error message when a report is too wide not too wide.
