Printing labels.

I have a mailing file in a network.The file is opened from different
computers.I designed the labels using the page size "Legal" in the page
setup.When others open the file from other computers the page size changes to
A4. Is there a way to designe the page size so that is always the same, no
matter from which computer the file (in the network) is opened?
Thanks

As long as each computer has access to the same printer and the page setup
was modified while in the design of your labels in access with the actual
printer specified and not the default, then each computer should retain the
setting.
 
Each computer has access to the mailing file (in the network), but in
printing the labels, each one uses his own printer. In doing so they have
each time to modify the page setup.

It's not with labels, but I've seen that when Access prints it'll change
some of the report's printing properties to the properties that are forced
on it by the printer. This includes a minimum margin at the top or bottom
(where my original settings were smaller than the printer's minimum). The
change was reflected back in the properties within Access.

There's a way to set the printer properties from within Access, and it might
be necessary to have the program set them each time in case they were
changed by some external "force."

Hope this helps a bit.

Bob.

Create a separate report for each of them and store it on their computer.

For me at least the problem you describe happens so rarely that it took me a
long time to get into the habit of checking the setting *every time* I
changed anything.
