Mike, I've seen this type of problem - related to Label printers - as Peter, RK and myself already mentioned.
There was also a suggestion about the Printer Env. causing the problem. I've seen this issue in the past - and I know it was a Known Bug in VFP - although I think it may have been fixed by a Service Pack. I know that the problem occurred where the "Save Printer Env." check box was Checked - and it was done so automatically. Strangely enough - at a prior job - I would to REMEMBER to Uncheck it for EVERY Single time I would Edit a report. So - take a peek there. Open the report -- Right-click anywhere in the report - select Properties - then make sure that the "Save Printer Env." check box is NOT Checked. I sure hope this helps - since I know how frustrating something like this can be.

This error is not left/right margins but suggests the band is too tall. I have had then when developing a report using my default printer but then try it on another printer and find I have to shorten the detail band to avoid the error. Must be different margin sizes on printers. As Tracy suggested we have also had the problem when printing to a label printer. We use a Zebra labels printer which uses a landscape layout, but if you set it to portrait you will get this error.
