AFAIK no, they are properties of the document.

You might consider adding using a Reports section with the required spacing.
This will print only at the beginning and end of the report. If you don't
see it in the default designer screen, right-click and select it.

The VB6 datareport is too mickey mouse to allow this.
But...
generate two reports, one for the cover page with its margins and the second
with the margins set for the body.
I haven't tried that, and I suspect you will produce a "blank" cover page with
the second report.
It's a fudge, but I think that's the only way to get what you want with the
datareport.

Otherwise, you may have to go with a more useful report generator, like Crystal
Reports (Comes with VB6 Professional), or Clarion or ....

Strangely enough, I've never used Crystal Reports (even though I got it with
VB6), as I've always managed to fudge the Datareport into what my customer wanted.
