Crop marks

[Joseph Hand]

Is there a way to add crop marks automatically with a report? For instance,
on a report, I have two cards print per page... with fixed sizes and
locations on the page... I would then like to cut them out and make certain I
am lined up so it is consistant.

Thanks in advance,
joe

Any reason why you can't simply add underscore and pipe characters at
the appropriate positions on the report?

This is my report.
Cut at the above and below lines

I could do that... I was hoping for more exact stuff, like in some desktop
publishing programs. Thanks for the tip.

There's no built-in crop-mark option in Access.

If you need to align them more precisely, use a Line control for each one.

You can use code with the Line method of the report to put marks exactly
where you want. The following code will put some marks at the top left and
right corners.

Private Sub Report_Page()
Dim intL As Integer 'length of mark
intL = 100
Me.Line (0, 100)-Step(100, 0)
Me.Line (0, 100)-Step(0, 100)
Me.Line (Me.Width - intL, 100)-Step(100, 0)
Me.Line (Me.Width, 100)-Step(0, 100)
End Sub
