I have an Access 97 database. When I run it from one pc, it generates the
report with the correct header/footer/margins. When I run the same report on
another pc, also with Access 97, the columns are all skewed, dropping to the
next line, wrapping, etc. I have ensured that page setup and Access options
are the same on each pc. Also same version of Access 97 is running on each.
It appears that the page width from one pc is smaller than on the other. I
have also checked to make sure that the default printer is the same on both
pc's. Not sure where else to look.

Thanks in advance.
 
Check the printer *driver* versions. Access relies on the printer driver to
determine printable area (minimum margins), etc.
 
Thanks George. I checked the printers, however it is a network computer both
systems are connecting to, so I am unable to see or alter the drivers.
Should there be drivers on the local machines for the network printer? I've
tried setting different printers as the default printer, however it hasn't
fixed the margin problem.
