Letter/A4 dialog showing inconsistent results

edited February 2003 in General
Hi,

I have the following problem which is causing me grief.

a) in the Designer I set the Page Setup - Paper Size setting to A4
b) Save the report
c) Exit the app
d) Re-run the app and re-load the same report in the Designer
e) open the Page Setup dialog again & the Page Size always shows Letter
f) if you then click Cancel & go back into the Page Setup, it has reverted
to A4

This makes it very difficult to determine if the reports are actually
correctly configured (for A4). Is this a bug or am I missing some setting
somewhere.

Thanks

Rick.

    Further info;

    Even when the dialog shows "Letter" the Width & Height settings show the
    sizes for A4 (ie 8.2707 x 11.6979). This causes certain printers (not all)
    to prompt for "Letter" sized stationery.

    Make sure you have Report.SaveAsTemplate set to False. You may have a
    template that is set to Letter and the report on the form is set to A4. Thus
    when the report is loaded, it loads the Letter template and doesn't use the
    A4 based template?

    Can you send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com
