Access Report OK on 1 PC, not on another

I have created an Access database, that contains a fairly simple form, with a button, that launches a pretty simple report. The report looks fine on my PC, and a couple of others. The main user's PC however, the report is messed up. Specifically, it appears to revert to portrait, when it should be landscape. The page setup values are not actually being changed, it just looks that way on the screen, and when printed. If this user closes and reopens 2 or 3 times, then its OK. I have another button that allows the user to export the report to a snapshot. This issue affects that functionality as well. We are using Access 2003, on XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
is the report set to print on the default printer or on a specific printer?
 
I did not specify a certain printer, so the default is being used. I did change the user's default printer, but the problem still occurred.
 
After trying various code in various events, I ended up going to this user's computer, opening the report, going into setup, changing it to potrait, then back to landscape, then I saved it. Now it seems to be funtioning correctly. Maybe some code, that on open changes the orientation to portrait, then back to landscape would have worked, but I am done with it.

Thanks for the reply, pwise.
