Hello.

I have a problem with setting the margins in my report.

What i have to do is print a report with some custom parameter fields (a lot of them) on an printed paper form that the user puts in the printer.

What i have done to save me a lot of work is scan the form and add it as a picture in Crystal Reports and so i was able to put the fields on the form manually without having to measure the distances on the paper. When i finished i simply deleted the picture and saved the report with the fields in the right place.

My problem is that (even if i set them) the margins of the document are not zero and so when the user puts the form in the printer the fields don't appear where they should, but have an offset (because of the margin).

My question is: how can i make the margins of a document physically zero (the ReportDocument.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins doesn't work) or if it can't be done how can i find a way around this?

Thanks in advance,
AGT.

PS: i do have a deadline so any feedback would be more than welcome. :)

Hi everyone.

I actually found what the problem was by myself.

It was the unit of measure... the twip... of which i found out yesterdey after scavanging the net for a couple of hours.

Crystal Reports uses for all its measurements the twip unit (567twips=1cm)

Thank you anyway,
Best regards
