Fields not displaying on target PC

[Borvik]

Hello all, hopefully someone can help me out with a strange issue I have.

On the report I've build I have two fields on the top right of the page - one a barcode of the document identifier and immediately below it the same thing in the Arial font. These are both the same formula field (formula = "*" & {viewName.DOCNUMBER} & "*"). It's using an ODBC connection to a SQL 2005 server.

I've developed this report with the designer that comes with Visual Studio 2008 Professional as it is also part of a program I'm writing.

This works fine on my development machine (Vista: Business).
It works fine on a coworkers machine (XP Pro).
It does NOT work on the target machine (also XP Pro) - both those fields do not show up (all the rest the report does - just not those fields).

All three machines have the same barcode font installed.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks.

Have you tried using the font in another package like MS Word?

Might be worth re-install of the font, however I can't imagine that would be the issue.

It's been a few days since this was posted, so interested to know if you resolved this or not

Hehe - yes rw, I solved it late yesterday and hadn't posted back yet.

Apparently the fields were too far right on the page. I was checking the formula by placing the field randomly on the page. Even though the text was centered - and definitely didn't overflow the bounds of the fields - the little bit the field was over caused them to not show. As soon as I nudged them over a tad to the left, they started printing. Just to be clear it was NOT over the 8.125 mark on the ruler - so it looked like it was completely on the page.
