ActiveX print button on SQL RS 2000 formatting to .5"

Is there any way to get the print button to format *automatically * the
margins based on what was written in the RDL?
For some reason it appears to want to be 0.5". I hate to tell the users to
keep changing it or exporting to PDF to get the margins I intended when I set
them from the Report Designer.I am new at RS, but it seems it takes the margins from the printer (and the
default values, in other words, it resets the values after you run it). In
fact, I read in the readme of the RS - SP2 that that is what it does.
I have a question for you (or anybody else that might want to answer): when
I print using the activex print button the report fonts, etc are bigger, for
instance, if I have a line of 6 inches wide it will take all the width of a
letter page (which is 8.5 inches). It is like printing with zoom.
Have you run into that problem?
Thanks for any info... José Araujo.

would certainly be closer, as the printer can print to less than .2 inches.

it to .5" so it always comes out on 2 times the pages.

accessing report programmatically

I need to run a report, output it in a CSV format, and store it in a
specified directory. I am able to do it using VS.net report designer.
How can I programmatically specify the output format and the
destination directory?
I'm new to RS, thanks for you help.Yes you can. There is a book by WROX called SQL Server Reporting Services.
It has a chapter on programmatic rendering. The book is a must have for
those learning SQL Server Report Services. It's very straight forward and
easy to implement.
