label differs by PC
here is a head scratcher.... Access2003....
have designed a Report for Avery labels on one PC....install the FE at another PC....and the label looks different... the difference is a specific label control is offset to the left alot...but what is really weird is that on the designing PC the text is all capitalized and on the other PC the text is justified with only a Capital on the first letter... I would not have thought the change in capitalization to be possible and have never seen such a thing.....anyone else??

I expect the issue might be with either the installed fonts or printer drivers.

hi Duane and thanks for taking a moment to reply....
yeah my default explanation was that it must be the printer driver - hadn't considered fonts..... I suppose more research or a blind re-install of their printer driver might fix it - - but the quickest work-around is just to tweak the design at their PC which is what I ended up doing. Never have seen anything like this so thought I would post it. While not an Access caused error it becomes an Access issue from the user's eye....I will tread more lightly when it comes to labels...haven't seen anything like this ever in regular reports.....
