    Printing a form and making it fit on one page


    Hello everyone... I need to know if there's a way to "shrink to fit" a form so that it will fit on one page. The form in question takes up four pages (maximized) as it is and I'm trying to get it down to one. Does anyone know a way to do this. Doing it programmatically through VB code would be a plus.

    Thanks in advance,
    Glenn

    take a look at Stephen Lebans site here http://www.lebans.com. there may be something you can adapt.

    An alternative is to export the report to pdf and then print the pdf

    Forms are not intended to be printed. Create a report based on the form. That will give you more control over layout and size

    Have to agree with Colin, build a report.

    I do have one situation where I print form (filtered to single record) but it took trial and error to get the form design sized right. Programmatically changing sizing of form and controls would be a nightmare effort.
