Summary
Printing Error: The combined size of the header plus footer is longer than can fit
Product
FileMaker Pro
Version
7.0 v2
Operating system version
Windows XP Pro 32-bit
Description of the issue
As of last Tuesday I am not able to print a report that used to print without any problems. When I attempt to print the report I continue to get this message regardless of what size paper, or how much I reduce the image on the paper. It will not even spool the print job.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Open FileMaker .fp7 database, select Supplier Invoice Report module, select layout called Invoice Data Entry, hit cancel to back out of new entry. Select File, then print, select ok. It begins the printing job and then immediately gets message: "The combined size of the header plus the footer is longer than can fit on the page. To print, first make sure the header or footer are shorter or use longer paper."
Expected result
The job used to print automtically and fit on the paper.
Actual result
Only the error message comes up, no job is printed. One must hit OK and then close the program since hitting cancel or escape does not work.
Exact text of any error message(s) that appear
"The combined size of the header plus the footer is longer than can fit on the page. To print, first make sure the header or footer are shorter or use longer paper."
Workaround
None, I cannot get the job to spool.
Has anything been changed on your system? New printer or updated printer driver? New windows update?
You might take this file and run a recover on it and test the recovered copy to see if it behaves any differently. If so, it would seem likely that your file is damaged and should be replaced with a back up copy of the file that is not damaged.
