Printing problem using Dot Net - fields are drifting off specified co-ords

22 Views

Hello

I am writing a crystal report that requires exact positioning of data to fit preprinted stationery.

I have achieved this satisfactorily in design mode (CR XI) and the report prints according to requirements from design mode.

I have loaded the report into our Dot Net app and printed the same report from there and the x,y cordinates of the output is slipping more and more both across and down the page.

e.g the differences vary on the x co-ord from 5mm to 13mm working left to right and 1mm to 10 mm vertically from top to bottom.

This error is evident in both preview and printing via Dot Net but is perfect in design mode.

I am using CR12 merge modules from the dot Net app.

I have tried locking fields and size and unlocking them - it makes no difference.

I hope there is a simple solution for this as I have been tearing my hair our trying to solve this problem.

Thanks in anticipation.

Richard
