Hi. In Paradox 10 Interactive, I designed a report. Then I inserted a
couple more columns, which worked; but I needed to make room for them, so I
squeezed one of the new columns, "Address", as well as some others, to make
room for them. Now the address column is ok on Page 1, but on Page 2, 3 and
4 of the output, it's still the old width and the little dashed vertical
lines appear in the right side of those pages, indicating that the report is
too wide, at least on those pages. I tried closing the report, closing
Paradox and restarting Windows, in 3 separate operations, all to no avail.
It prints this way, too. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Fred Van Houten

Fred , a couple of things to check.

1) Look at each field left to right and on the Properties | Run tab see
whether
you have Fit Width checked. If yes and the data is wider than the
width of
the field on the report, then the field will grow and expand the
column widths.

2) There is a print option in the Paradox 10 print syntax called
PrintClipToWidth. You need to specify this as an option. Look in OPAL
Help or search the Forums for explanation.
