Hi
I created a custom paper size named "Bar" in this way : control
panel --printers--file--server properties--new form
then i create a report in access2002 and set the paper size to "Bar" the
custom paper which I created above .
the problem is when I put the program on another computer the report which i
create white custom paper "Bar" does not print correctly and when I check
the paper size for the report on another computer it set to paper size
"Letter".
I must say that Befor copying the program on the another computer I Am
creating the custom paper size on the target computer in way I describe
Above.
I create the report on win2000 advanced server and the problem is useing it
on WinXP.


This could be a printer problem, but is more likely a problem with the
forms.

I understand that the two forms created on the two machines LOOK the
same. I doubt if they are truly the same. In my experience, each form
entry is numbered. On two machines with the same non-standard entry
("Bar") the form number may be different. This would account for
Access resetting the report to Letter.

The solution? There may be a better one, but I suggest setting up your
printer/paper size settings on the XP machine.
