Larry,

Put a one inch high region in the report page header and footer, and set it up 
so it does not resize.
You may have to put something at the bottom of each of those regions to force 
them to display , perhaps a text field with a period in it.

Print the report and adjust until you have the blank inch at top an bottom of 
each page.
Add component ids to the regions and in the before generate page headed make 
the appropriate regions visible/invisible base on the page number.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Different margins on report odd/even pages.

I have a very nice 11 x 17 report that replaces an old DOS green-and-white bar 
paper report.  The user wants to bind the report along the top edge, as is 
frequently done with this format of report.

The problem is that in this scenario, the report really needs 1 extra inch at 
the top of each odd numbered page and 1 extra inch at the bottom of each even 
numbered pages.  Otherwise the binding obscures either the top of the odd 
numbered pages or the bottom of the even numbered pages.

Has anyone achieved an effect like this in the R:Base report writer (v7.6)?
