Welcome to the board wai221!
You might be able to use something like the following:

I would suggest that generally speaking, users will want to print from a small selection of envelopes, so I would have these standard sizes listed in a drop-down box, and then perhaps two text boxes to enter height and width to cater for other sizes.

I not quite understand your mean like standard sizes listed in a drop down box. Is it we fix some size for the envelope.
Second, I already do some coding for key in height and width in the textbox.
When i click submit button. It will show the form size based on the new higth and width figure.
How to do for this part coding? Is it can do like this? I newbie in vb.net. So, i really need somebody help me.
Appreciate your kindness.Thank you.
Envelopes come in standard sizes - have a look at any box of envelopes, and the dimensions are written on the pack. Each size is usually given a name (such as DL, which is 110mm by 220mm). There is also a list of some fairly standard sizes available in Microsoft Word (Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes) so you might use this as a starting point.
If this is in Access, you probably need a report where you set the height and width of the detail according to the envelope size selected. However from your comment it looks like you're using VB.net - is this correct?
Hi,
I just ran a test. I created a report that was the size of a #10 reg envelope. I then went to page setup, went to page, check " use specific printer", clicked on printer, clicked on properties, clicked on advanced, went to paper size and selected the paper that was labeled for a #10 envelope. Printed to the laser printer, in this case I used our HP laserjet 6MP and used the manual tray with a #10 envelope and it worked like a charm. The default for that particular form will stay as that printer and that size paper. The trick, I think, is to make sure you are printing to a printer that supports the size paper or envelope you want to print.

You can either have a separate report for each envelope size you want to accept, or set the height and width of the report dynamically via code. In either case, I think you need to decide which sizes you want to accept - a hunt in your stationery cupboard would be a good starting point.
