Moving controls programmatically on a report ???

[Don Garry]

Is it possible to move control programmatically when printing a report ?

I have several reports that I've built in Access 2000 which are being
printed on a variety of impact printers.

My problem is that the reports work fine on most but not on all. Some of my
clients have different impact printer models.

I was thinking if there was a way to change the top or left positions of all
of the controls programmatically prior to printing by a user controlled
number then life would be grand !

Anyone out there done anything like this ???

Use the report's Open (or an appropriate Format) event to
set the controls' Top and Left properties. (Don't forget
that the property settings are in twips (1440 per inch).
