    Printing report on preprinted forms

    I have 2 suggestions: 1. Use a query so you only every get one record in the detail section. 2. Suppress the detail section in the report and put the detail line fields in the header section (or whatever section you use). Hope this helps. Phil

    automatic sizing of forms

    I believe you can do it. I've seen Delphi code to do it (in other development environments of course). What do you mean "out of whack". These days we tend to develop for a resolution of 800x600. At home I use 1024x768 but the screen still looks OK. Phil

    I presume you are using a query to join the tables. Your joins need refining. Its difficult to recommend what to do without seeing the table and the foreign keys Hope this helps Phil

    Sorting Days in a report

    Sum Function in reports not working!

    What appears on the report where the summed field should be? If the query still works and the report is using the summed field then you would think (???) it would still work. Phil

    Updating a Unbound OLE at runtime

    Help before I go totally grey. I have a unbound OLE control in a report. This actually contains a signature (MS Word doc) which varies depending on what user is using the application. Now it works fine if you only have one signature i.e. the one you put in there at design time. I have tried some...
