Printing a form to A4 size paper

I'm trying to print a long form that has a height greater than that of the screen in VB4. Whenever I print the form, it gets cut off about three-quarters way down an A4 page. Any ideas on how to stop this happening? Could it be something to do with the particular printer driver I'm using?

Thanks,

Hello, padsc. I believe your problem lies within the printer settings. For one, be sure that you select A4 size paper in the printer configuration. If that doesn't work, visit your printer's manufacturer's website for the latest print drivers.

If all your printer settings are correct (PRINTER object)

stuff like Printer.prpOrientation = vbportrait
(well i think it was vbportrait) then :

You must be using the

Code:

---

PRINTFORM

---

method which is limited to the screen size, and instead must redraw the forms contents using the

Code:

---

.PRINT

---

method

You may need to check and revise the layout of your forms if you want to print them. When you use the Print method, graphical images are clipped at the bottom of the page and text is carried over to the next page

look at PRINTER OBJECT in the help

Thanks for your help.

Does this mean I should use the command Form1.Print or Printer.Print Form1?
