Default Printing corruption: preview mode list double the actual record amount - 03-04-2007 , 12:59 PM






I am having a strange problem were all records are listed fine in
browse view but in preview view the records are doubled with one blank
record between every actual record. Also when I print I obviouly get
what preview mode is showing with the exception that all print outs
start from the first record no matter what page numbers specified in
the print menu. Please help, I am stuck writting shippers by hand.

You have some field or other data "outside the print area" somewhere.
go to "layout" make sure you have the correct "print setup" (portrait
or landscape) checked pull the bottom of the page up to the bottom of
the letter or report you are printing. That's why you are seeing 2
pages for each record.

Thanks for the response. I have nothing outside the print area. I even
draged a net across the entire space not included in the print area
and deleted what ever might be there. I also moved the bottom of the
page up to the print line. Nothing made a difference.

I set the printer to print legal size then it showed the correct
number of pages with no extra blank pages. But this can only be a
temporary fix. Is it possible that my print set up is corrupted in
some way? I was having problems with the page margins displaying
incorrectly when I used a footer.

You gave the answer you self I think, when you wrote:

You not only move the part TO the line. Thee actual page-line has to be
crossed over to the top. The line should not be visible

Otherwise, try to rebuild the layout bit by bit. Printing each time (just
one record) to test if everything is still right. This will tell you where
the error occurred.

Keep well, Ursus
