[AccessD] Printer Question

Mark:

I forwarded your suggestion - let's see what he finds.  Maybe the printer
driver will take care of it for him.  But I just tried it with a report here
and using Comm. #10 Env. Setting, it reduced the page size to the size of a
#10 but doesn't change the orientation of the copy.

Rocky,

If you search help for printer and 'clunkety-clunk'...you will find./....


Just kidding...on your report...if you goto file/page setup/page...do you
have size as 'Envelope #10' ? Also, what is the orientation?  I didn't have
clunkety-clunk...but for mine to print correctly...I had to select 'Envelope
#10' as size and choose the orientation landscape.

Good Luck,

Mark
