Hi,

I have a field in access which is in a report. It appears blank when print previewing, but prints fine?

Also if I click on the design button and then click back on preview the field suddenly appears?

Any ideas, as I am stumped!
 
Try changing youe default printer and see if that makes a difference. Access uses the devcaps (Device Capabiites) of the current printer driver and tries to render these to the devcaps of your screen. Any slight bug in the printer driver can cause funky stuff to happen.

I work for a company with 30000+ employees, and our favoured model of printer insists on showing some print previews in landscape althoough they print fine.

GRRRRRR!

Annoying but some things are just beyond our control....

Look on the bright side - wouldn't it piss you off more if it was the other way around? ;)
