Hello folks.

I wish to programme a function into my database that gives the database the ability to resize graphics to any size using a layout page of exactly the required size.

The technique I use is to create a layout with only the source (over-large) graphic on it, but scaled to exactly the size I wish to convert the graphic. I then change to preview mode, execute a copy scriptstep - which copies the current page as a graphic - and then paste the result into the correctly-sized graphic field.

The problem is that the PAGE, and not just the graphic must be exactly the size I want it. Thus I would like a completely flexible printer driver, so that I can set the page size to exactly the required size.

Note that I never actually print - so it doesn't matter if I dont actually have the printer. I only want to use it to set the page size.

Any ideas? I'd be very grateful.

Yours

Russell

Under Mac OS X you can define custom paper sizes right in the Page Setup dialog. Not sure about Windows.
