How to set report margins using form data?

[Guest]

I've made a report that different people use on different printers. It
places names, etc. on lines of a pre-printed certificate so placement is
critical. I can get it to place the names on the pre-printed lines using my
printer, but another user may find the names slightly above or below the line.

So, if I created a form that asked for the margins settings for the report,
how do I programatically pass that info on to the report format? I don't
want users to have to go into design mode and tweak it there.

Possible?

Thanks in advance.

I think I answered my own question after further "pondering." If I have the
report open in preview mode the user can easily adjust margins from the
File->Page Setup screen.

Depending on the number of users and their printers I woudl tackle the
problem by creating/designing the report separately for each type of printer
and the by using the page set-up/print to specific printer option, assign
each report to the correct printer it was designed for. A bit of work, but I
have a hard time thinking there is a way to easily assign page set-up
instructions programmatically. Good Luck
