Sizing the border of a pop-up report in report view

[DeWaal]

Hi there experts

Hope someone can assist me.

I have a pop-up report that has a big white section below that i cant get rid of.
I have tried to resize the border and save it but when i reopen it its the same again.

This is what it looks like.

i would like for it to look like this and stay that way...

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

A Report is made to be printed, so it will show the size of the paper it is defined to be printed on in Page Setup. If this is a user interface element, use a Form.

Hi there Mark

Thank you for you reply.

So this will be printed, i just figured that instead of that large white section at the bottom it would look better if it only displays the part that will be printed in the report view. The width i good its just the white part at the bottom that doesn't seem to stay away after i adjust the borders and save it.

Reports are designed to print. Most reports are pre-configured to the "standard" 8.5x11 (US sizing) or the "legal" 8.5x14 (US sizing). That's what you see.

If you want to define a non-standard, custom, size for the report, you can do that in the Report Set Up dialog.

Thank you for your reply.

i am happy with the way the report prints.

like i mentioned in my first post, i would just like the report view to only display the part that will be printed like this

instead of it having the white part at the bottom like this.

i just need a way to resizes the borders of the report view to keep it like my first screenshot.

Every time i resize it and save it, it just goes back to the way it was with the white part at the bottom again.

if you are using Report View, you can utilize the Timer Event to resize your form.
see this demo.

Set the AutoResize property of the report to No.
