Hi,

I have access2000 and copied this database to a customers computer who also has access2000. On switchboard load event i cycle through all the reports to set the page margins and pagesize (A4). However, it did this all correctly but somehow changed the layout, perhaps slightly increased the margins, so that I had to go into design veiw and change it. Also fields that fit in my table on the report now dont!? I have no idea why this is happening-any suggestions?

Cheers

Tania
 
my first thought is that the printers are different. if the printer you are using has different base margins this can affect your reports. not sure if there is much you can do about that.
 
i has tried to get around the problem fo different printers by programmatically setting the page margins and pagesize, but seems to be more than that! could the fact that the customer have a laser printer also be affecting the alignment?
