PrintForm problems

[tbellomo]

Ok, I went the unconventional route, and made my report on a form. I also designed the form in a high resolution. My users use 800x600, normally. When I print the form, it prints the whole form... but when they print the form (through the me.printform in the form_load event) it cuts off the last 1/4 of the form.

Everything is to the correct scale, and the rest of the text WOULD fit, but it doesn't print it. Anybody have any solutions?

Thanks,
Tim

Print it directly to the printer object the same way that you print it on the form. Take a look at my 1st post in thread222-543767

Good Luck

yeah, but it's more than simply text... It's all formatted how it needs to be with boxes, and lines, and etc. Is there no other way... it's seems stupid that resolution would interfere with the printing of an entire form.

Yes, I agree with you, but if it is a parent form that is cut off then the cut off area will not be printed. If I remember correctly (I could be very wrong on this) someone in this forum said that you could make your form a child (MDIChild) and then you could get all of it to print. I don't know as I have never tried it.

Good Luck
