Access runs report different now that I have change systems why

1 New Member
At work I was give a different computer it has access 2000 which is what my programs are built in. When I print my reports from this new computer the page footer does not show and all of the data is not on the page. It is like all the fonts are larger and overlap on the page. I checked all the options and everything is the same on both computers. I can run the reports from home and on other computers at work which all use access 2000. Any idea what might cause this and how i can fix it.
Thanks very much,

Have you actually compared hard copies of identical reports from your work PC and a PC that it runs correctly on? Are the lines on each the same, or does one or the other have less characters per line? Default fonts in Access are chosen because most PCs have them on board, but occassionally you'll run into a PC that doesn't. If the PC doesn't have a particualr font, it'll make a substition, but the report will still show the list the font desinated by the db. Or the driver on your work PC could be bad.

This sort of issue is often due to the way that Access reports depend on printers.
Check out the default printers on the various PCs.
Check that the report is set to use the default rather than any specific printer.

Um yeah....In case you haven't figured it out, Microsoft sucks.

I have a budget report developed on Access 97 under Windows NT which also runs fine under Windows 2000. When I try to run it under Windows XP, it causes some kind of error which gets the window asking if it is OK to send the error report to Microsoft. Access 97 quits after that window closes. The query which underlies the report opens OK. I've tried doing a Repair on the database, and I've used JETCOMP on it. I tried copying the...

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

tblCourses one to many to tblEvents. A course may have an intro workshop (a type of event), a mid course workshop, a final exam. Or any combination. Or something different in the future. At the moment the printed output is usually going to Word. It's turning into an unholy mess, because I'm having to prepare umpteen different Word templates, and the queries that drive them, depending on what events a course has.

Hi again, every I go into Design mode in a report and move something around, it gets "disaligned" with respect to the underlying grid, either at 8X8 or 9X9 (don't know why at 10X10 you can't see tha grid, either...) and I have to manually select every control, textbox, whatever and move each of the sides up and down to "re-align" it correctly to the grid... Is it just me missing something or is it a normal behaviour?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
