Report Orientation

[Brennan]

Hello:

I have a Access 2000 database that is split into a front
end and a back end. The back end resides on a network
share and the front-end resides on the local drive of the
client machine.

This application is small (2 users) so whenever I make
changes to the client, I just manually install it and re-
link the tables.

Both the end users pcs as well as the PC I write code on
have Office 2K SP3. My problem is that whenever I make
changes to the front-end client and copy it to the local
PC, all of my legal sized reports revert to letter size.

I know this was a bug that was resolved in the service
packs which is why I made sure the clients were sitting
on the appropriate service packs. What I can't
understand is why I have to resize all the reports even
though all PCs are at the appropriate service pack. Would
this also happen if the application was deployed via an
installer package?

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks
Brennan

Brennan,

You might get over this problem by configuring your report
to a specific printer (assuming all users have the same
printer(s)). In page setup configure a specific printer
with all the propoerties you want. I suspect Access
reverts to default printer and default properties when
introduced to a different printer configuration.

HTH,

Terry
