Dim StrWhere As String
StrWhere = "[LOG]= """ & Me!Log & """"
DoCmd.OpenReport "DELIVERY ORDER", acViewPreview, , StrWhere

Hi Terry,

You can use the Printer object in Access to set margins etc. see example
code below.

Dim Ptr As Printer

'To use a specific printer
Set Ptr = Application.Printers(strDeviceName)
'To use the default printer
Set Ptr = Application.Printer


'Now you can set all you need to for the printer object Ptr
'The 56.7 is to convert mm to Twips as the printer settings are measured
in Twips (1/1440 of an inch)
'In this example the settings are read from a recordset rsPrinterSettings
With Ptr
.PaperBin = 15
.DefaultSize = False
.PaperSize = lngPaperbin
.BottomMargin = rsPrinterSettings!Bottom * 56.7
.LeftMargin = rsPrinterSettings!Left * 56.7
.RightMargin = rsPrinterSettings!Right * 56.7
.TopMargin = rsPrinterSettings!Top * 56.7
.RowSpacing = rsPrinterSettings!RowSpacing * 56.7
.ItemsAcross = rsPrinterSettings!ItemsAcross
.Orientation = rsPrinterSettings!Orientation
.Copies = 1
If Left(Docname, 6) = "Labels" Then
.DefaultSize = False
.ItemSizeHeight = rsPrinterSettings!Height * 56.7
.ItemSizeWidth = rsPrinterSettings!Width * 56.7
End If
If Docname = "RptNewRegistration" Then
.Duplex = acPRDPHorizontal
Else
.Duplex = acPRDPSimplex
End If
End With

Hope this will get you going.
