I have a report that is returning data all the way to the right of the page but when I view the design there is nothing there to support the return of this data.

Try this:
 
1.  In File|Page Setup, expand the width of your page.
2.  In the design tab, you should now be able to scroll to the right and see  if there is anything there that wasn't visible before so that you can remove it.
3.  Go back to File|Page Setup and set your page back to its original size.

Took the right margin down to 0.1 and still see nothing.  In the meantime, I expanded the right margin to 3.0 so the data would be cut off when the user prints the report.  It's still there, they just don't see it.

By "Expand the width of your page", I meant "Change the paper size to something bigger", not "Change the size of the Margins".  Make sense?

Anyways, I'm glad you've found a work-around.

Yes, that makes sense.  My paper size was already at Legal.  I don't like work-arounds - but they are a necessary evil at times... Smile
