SYMPTOMS
The report does not save the scale mode information from the printer driver after setting it in the Report Designer.

CAUSE
Some printer drivers allow you to set the scale (enlargement or reduction) for documents and or reports. FoxPro for Windows does not support scaling.

RESOLUTION
Set the scaling value in the printer driver.

MORE INFORMATION
The ability to scale printed output is often found in Postscript driver drivers.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Install the HP LaserJet 5P/5PM PostScript driver or another postscript driver that allows you to control the scale of the printed output. Create a quick report called Scale. From the Report menu choose Page Layout. In the Page Layout dialog box, choose Print Setup. Set the printer scale to a value less than 100 percent. Save the report as Scale.frx. Close the report.  Issue the following command in the Command window:  <pre class="CODESAMP">     MODIFY  REPORT SCALE </li></ol>

Note that the printer scale information was not saved.
