Default fit to screen

Hi, I am a new user trying to make my report fit to the screen. I have a
multi report that i have dragged four different reports to make one report.
My problem is i know that i have alot of information going on with this
report, but i would like it to print on one page. Could you please advise of
what the vba code is for this to print one page and shrink the information
for this to fit? Thanks Sarah

Sorry, but there's no "fit to one page" option in Access.

As Doug mentioned, this is not built into Access. I use Clickbook for
specialty printing, and I believe it will do exactly what you are after.
Have a look at their website:

The usual practice is:

For horizontal fit: The report has a fixed design width. Design the report
so that the width is your desired width (presumably that of one page of the
paper that you are using)

The vertical size varies dramatically with the amount of records that you
are going to print. For example, just by changing a query condition, you can
make it vary from a 1 page of data to 100 pages of data. I'm no expert in
that area, but I have a hard time imagining the availability a "VBA code" to
make all of those scenarios fit onto one page.
