Reports opening differently on client/my machine

[Mike MacSween]

On the users machine a report opens 'To Fit', i.e. the full (A4) page on the
screen. This makes it very hard to read. 1024 x768 TFT monitor.

On my dev machine it opens 100%. 1024 x 768 CRT monitor.

Exactly the same version of the Front End file. I can't seem to find any
sort of setting that makes this 'stick' one way or the other.

Any ideas as to cause/solution?

Cheers, Mike

I've seen this behavior too but I can't say why. My client wanted some consistency
so I added a RunCommand to "zoom" the report, like this ...

Private Sub cmdViewStatement_Click()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStatements", acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom100
End Sub

There are a number of zoom options to choose from. Give that a try.

Thanks Danny. I knew there must be an access constant, just couldn't seem to
lay my hands on it.

I wondered whether different default printer, different monitors, different
font sets might be something to do with.

Yours, Mike
