THERE IS an offset in the report record:

type ReportPrintInfo =
	Record
		name String 	 ; run this report if not already open
		masterTable String	 ; master table name 
			queryString String	 ; run this query (actual query string) 
		restartOptions SmallInt	 ; what to do if data changes while printing
						 ; use a ReportPrintRestart constant
		printBackwards Logical ; true: Backward, False: Forward, default: False
		makeCopies Logical ; who makes copies: Paradox or the printer?
						 ; if True, Paradox makes copies
		panelOptions SmallInt ; use a ReportPrintPanel constant
			nCopies SmallInt ; number of copies, default is 1
			startPage LongInt ; starting page, default is 1
			endPage LongInt ; ending page def: ending page
		startPageNumber LongInt ; sets page number where numbering starts
		pageIncrement SmallInt ; use for multi-pass printing. Default is 1




>>>>>>>>>>>>
			xOffset LongInt ; horizontal page offset
		        yOffset LongInt ; vertical page offset
>>>>>>>>>>>>		



	orient SmallInt ; use a ReportOrientation constant
	endRecord
endMethod
