Forms -- Top Margin Needs to Be Zero ( 0" )

[CHAD GRAYBILL]

Thought I was already to go for my form printout, when I discover I have a
margin at top of my form that cannot be set to zero, set at .25" now, but
minimum value of .166" is all the lower it accepts.

I have an 3.66" high form that will net 3 equal sheets per 8 1/2 X 11 in
sheet for my fundrive. Form is perforated for 3 slips per sheet. I have
preprinted forms with some boxes in which to fill in names addresses etc.

My first slip lines up to print fine, but next slip (center one) is 1/4"
above line up fields, then next slip (bottom one) is 1/2" above line up
fields, because of this .25" margin.

Is there anyway to get rid of this top margin and set it to zero? Things
will line up if this is possible.

Thanks in advance, frusted Access user.

Minimum margins are dictated by your printer driver, not Access.

As Rick pointed out, the minimum margins are controlled by the printer
driver. But the margins are by page, not by record. So, if you use a Report,
and design your report so that exactly three detail sections fit within the
page, instead of having each be treated as a separate page...

Reports are for printing; forms are for display. Both can exhibit some
peculiarites when used for the primary function of the other.
