Positioning report textboxes at run time

Dear NG,

I have, what I thought was going to be a trivial issue. A form calls a
report when a button is pushed. The report prints one label at any one of 8
positions on an 8.5 X 11 sheet of label stock paper (Avery 9395). Now if I
define the upper left hand corner of the page using the Page Setup window
everything works fine. For example: if I want the label in column 2 row 2 I
set the Top property to 4.5 and the Left to 3.25. So far so good, but that
requires manually going into the report and setting those two properties. I
would like to PASS those properties from the form to the report at run time.
Can this be done?

If I can not set the page margins under program control, how about locating
the top and left position of each textbox?

BTW, I have no problem printing a whole sheet of 8 labels from a query, but
just printing one seems to be beyond me:)

TIA,

Bob
