> Every printer has an unprintable margin on all sides and the width of that margin varies greatly between printers. When you design a report in VFP you can select whether you want "Printable Page" or "Whole Page". If you choose Printable Page, the top and left sides will start immediately after the unprintable margin. The position of the page footer, and how much information fits on the page completely depends on the size of the unprintable margin at the bottom of the page.

> However, if you choose "Whole Page", you'll have a design surface of the full size of the paper and it's up to you position things whereever you want. It's also up to you to make sure you don't put things to close to any of the edges or it may be lost when printed. The advantage of using "Whole Page" is that it doesn't matter what printer you use and what the unprintable margins are. Things will always be positioned where you lay them out on the report designer.

Hi Cathy,
Problem not solved still.
Is there something to do with frx?
The Details on the detail band are being printed okay, its ony the subtotals which are not being printed as the totals are pushed down outside their respective boxes. I have put the totals inside the page footer band.
