Thanks Trevor, I have modified it slightly by using trunc with the final division to get a whole number of rows. What is all this for? I have a table that is using the large data method. I select the the data from that table and pass it to this, the table in question, that is being used to print a report in table format. This table is adjusted according to the paper size and I need to display only the data for one page at a time to enable the batch printing process of LC, therefore I need to know the number of whole rows that will fill the paper size, then adjust the height of the DG again. In addition I adjust the widths of the columns using percentages passed in according to whether the print is landscape or portrait. It all seems to work quite well and beats creating a reporting stack. My next step is to add top/bottom margins for titles etc. The only issue I am having is the artefacts I have reported as a bug when I print preview in OS X Yosemite. The alternate colour row is showing vertical lines in the cells as per this example screen grab https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98788898/LiveCode/Screen%20Shot%202014-11-17%20at%2007.40.52.png <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98788898/LiveCode/Screen%20Shot%202014-11-17%20at%2007.40.52.png> All the best and thanks again Terry _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
