Hello I went through this as well, my suggestion is to get into the server and copy the invoice template so you have a backup and then return to the browser and just play with it. You can do all of the editing from within SQL so you don't even have to leave the menu system, make a change and print another copy and compare, etc. After a short time you'll start to see what controls what. I think in less than an hour I had fixed my length problem and tuned up a few other details while I was in there, it wasn't hard to understand. Jeff Myk Robinson wrote: > Thanks for the reply.
