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. -Kris |

Custom paper size problem please Help
Hi Dear MR Krissco
the problem is that i want to use the report in two machin in one Time . please any other sulotions. thanks. Does this mean that two users use the same .mdb file at the same time? Does this mean that the report needs to be sent to two different printers? If there are two users, consider splitting your database and configure the report for each of them. If there are two printers and you want an "easy" but not necessarily "correct" solution - you can always make a second copy of your report (one for each printer). -Kris |
