I recently had a customer who reported a chart report was being cut off on the right margin - in Preview and on Print. This was consistent for him. But a person he worked with did not have that problem with the same report printed or previewed at the same time. My response was to have IT look at his laptop and update the printer drivers. I haven't heard back so I am assuming that he can now print the reports correctly.

Dan, Not all. Most are set to "Use Default", but even in the cases where a report was set to a specific printer, the same thing has happened. It was first noticed in a label program. 4 x 6 labels created for landscape started printing out in portrait mode. This was even with the exact same printer and driver setup on the new box (there was no warning that the report was being formatted for another printer when opened). I also tried running some code using the application.printer object to grab defaults and then update the reports. Got a lot of weird errors out of that (ie. could not set margins without an error, device name in the report would end up blank, etc). process and have resorted to changing everything by hand.

Jim, Were the reports previously set to use a specific printer, which no longer exists?

All, Just moved a client from Phoenix to Ohio and in the process am now running their apps under Access 2003, SP3. Originally they were running under A2000. I left all the databases in 2000 format. I'm seeing a variety of printing issues, but it boils down to margins and orientation are getting messed up when a report opens. I've already turned off Auto Correct and that didn't fix it. Anyone have any ideas? This is rather urgent as things are starting to come to a standstill and it's turning into a major mess.
