Configure Report

[Guest]

I need to configure a report, in access 2000. The report consists of several
controls, and i need to configure the 'coordinates' of each control, in the
paper, regardless of the section . I mean :
control 1 : top -> 10 Left -> 15
Always in mind , that i want to print in a din a-4 page (21x29mm)
Now, i'm only able to configure the top and left related to the section, but
not the page.

You can use code in the On Page event of your report to print text or draw
lines anywhere on your printable page.

but, how can i set the top and left properties of each control in this event?
i need to situate each control in an exact position of the page, regardless
of the section....

I'm not sure how you would position the controls. What exactly did you want
to print on your report?

is an order. consists of the customer information (name, code, address and
city) the number of the order, the details of the order, and the totals of
the order.
I've got in the header section the customer information, and the order number
in the detail section , the lines of the order (cant, concept,
and import)
in the footer section, the totals (total of order, fees, and
total + fees)
the controls are , basically textboxes, linked to a query. All is working
fine, except, that i can't print the order correctly, in a preformatted paper.

thanks,

I can't see your report or your preformatted paper so it's a bit difficult
to provide a solution. You may want to use a subreport for your order
details. This will allow you to place customer and order information
anywhere you want on your main report.

i'm will try the solution of the subreport.
...i only went a way to positioned a control in a report, configuring the top
and left properties relative to the page, so , the report can printed
correctly independent of the machine or printer, and always printed in the
same position. Anyway, thank you for your help.
