Total success at last. Several issues found with the originally offending report. Most notably, the RecordSource query for the report was based on a table that had previously had a field deleted, the absence of the field is apparent as expected when one runs the query. However, when a table field is deleted it becomes necessary to delete the link to the backend and relink the table. Also, as I mentioned in Post #30, the "Fit to Page" property was enabled erroneously. A couple of cosmetic tweaks here and there and the pdf file is as required.

Thanks to all,


Bill
