As the message states, you can't do it in an MDE.

Things like setting margins require you to be able to open the report in
Design mode. You cannot open reports (or anything else) in Design mode in an
MDE.

As Doug said, you can't change margins by code in an mde. You can open the
report in preview and adjust them manually there, however, they won't be
saved.

That said, the best design situation would be to design your report to
accommodate the majority of laser and inkjet printer's minimum margins.
Normally that .25 on the top, right and left, and .5 on the bottom. (Some
inkjets won't go any lower.) If you keep your margins set to that in design
and work your report along those lines, you should be ok.
