Is there anyway around the .25" minimum margin limitation
in the Page Setup?

I am trying to import an ole document that already has
a .25" margin, and that added to Access .25" margin makes
it wider than my print area. The object (a form created
in another program) is slightly cropped on the right side.
I either need a zero margin on the ole object, or on the
Access form...

Any ideas?
thanx in advance

You can set the Access margins to Zero.
Tools + Options + General
However, if the printer itself has a minimum 0.25" margin you still are not
going to be able to print at 0".

Go to File + Page SetUp + Margins
Reset the left and right margins to 0".
Click OK.
Go back and check the margins again.
If they have re-set, whatever the size the margins now are is the minimum
margin for your printer.

Thanks, Fred, I followed your tip but I still can't get
past the .25 limitation. The help file with the printer
states that selecting "letter" as the form size sets the
default margins to zero...Think they're fibbing to me?
My next step is to:
a) reset the entire form (ugh! lottsa small print)
b) figure out what size "form" the printer thinks is
wider than "Letter" (legal?, A4, A5, Japenese post card?)
c) See how far I can drop kick the printer...

thanks again,
Russ
