Display field problem in MS Access 2000 (OS-Windows XP)

We have MS Access 2000 Application (on Network- file server) and it
workd fine as intended. However in one of our Windows XP computer
(workstation) in bookd jobs module 10 digit field shows 8 digits only
and than we need to scroll with cursor to see last two digits. I have
tried to change the display settings of monitor and even I replaced the
monitor but still it shows 8 digit only. Is there any other settings
for paricular workstaion I need to do?

Also when that paricular job we try to print on HP Laserjet 8150
printer (all printer tried but same result) it prints 8 digit (when we
view it shows 10 digit).

Any suggestions?

Make sure that the Font you are using is available on that particular
workstation.

Compare the display settings on a machine that displays the value
properly and one that doesn't (right click on desktop in Windows, go to
properties, then settings, then screen resolution. Also click the
Advanced button and compare the font dpi settings).
If that doesn't resolve, go to control panel in Windows and compare the
settings in 'Regional and Language Options' between the two machines.
