It's better late than never! Above please read user defined 'size' in place of
'type'. This time the solution wasnt that simple. Why dont use a default paper
size for the report ? Answer: since the year 92 when computers where first
introduced to our business we have a document that is delivered to each employee
each month. We call it 'holerit'. It has the size 210 x 148,5 mm. So i've
worked hard to develop a report the same size of the 'holerit' with data we
belive the employee should know. At first the report was filled on a paper
four times the 'holerit', then twice, and finally the same size. Although the
data for the report was at first passed one by one employee using a VB6 application and the printer was set to pause so all the pages were printed at once. A very elementar application using the knowledge i was familiar at the time. Now i use an access application with all the resources available with A2K2. So i'm not happy to change the papersize after all these hours working on the present application that has spared 12 days of year work on the personal task in absolute time plus allowing the report to be done day by day versus in one day at the beginning of the month before the payday. To make it short, anyone interested on using user defined papersize should read Access 2002 Desktop Developer's Handbook by Paul Litwin & others, Appendix C.
