    My tables are shortened?

    Wondering why my tables have the bottom portion of the values cut off?

    likely because you have your DPI settings to something other than normal.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Ran a search and saw where they talked about DPI setting but where are they?

    On Windows 7 (and probably Vista) computers, you can access DPI settings by searching "dpi" in the Start menu. On Windows XP, It should be in the Control Panel, likely under the Accessibility options. IIRC, 96 DPI is the standard format.

    I have Windows 7. Typed in dpi and tried all of the settings but found no 96 dpi.

    That's it! Thanks Bill.

    Only problem now is my print is so small I can barely read it.

    You could reduce the resolution you're using; of course this is all kind of silly since the real problem is that the programmer who wrote the table control made a bad assumption that he had control over the font in use (or didn't have time to really sure up the layout code). Being that this is all .NET, I would think it would be fairly simple to hook up some scaling, depending on how the control is written.

    Went custom and set my dpi on 135 and now all is fine. For some reason it was on 150. 96 is too small to read.
