HELLO!<br><br>MY ENVIRONMENT:<br>APPLICATION DEVELOPED IN ACCESS 97 <br>WINDOWS NT NETWORK<br>APPLICATION RESIDES ON THE SERVER <br>VARIABLE NUMBER OF STATIONS IN THE NETWORK <br><br>MY PROBLEM:<br><br>I HAVE A REPORT THAT NEEDS TO BE PRINTED IN A4 PAPER SIZE. WHILE IN DESIGNING MODE I CONFIGURED THE REPORT TO PRINT IN THE DEFAULT PRINTER AND A4 PAPER SIZE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT SOME TIMES THE REPORT LOOKS TO HAVE GONE CRAZY IN THE PREVIEW SCREEN AND I KNOW THAT THIS CAN HAVE TO DO WITH THE FACT OF SOME ONE HAVE CHANGED THE PAPER SIZE CONFIGURATION OF THE PRINTER. EVEN WORST IS THE FACT THAT, SOME TIMES, THE SIMPLE RESTORATION OF THE PRINTER CONFIGURATION IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT REPORT WORK AGAIN. WHAT I WANT IS TO UNDERSTAND HOW ACCESS+WINDOWS NT NETWORK+REMOTE PRINTER WORK TOGHETER TO GET THE JOB DONE. COULD ANYBODY HELP ME?
