Hi all

I have a report preview error No.2157 in Access 2000 running Win98 printing to a oki dot matrix printer.

Error Msg is as follows :
"The sum of the top margin, the bottom margin, the height of the page header, and
the height of the page footer is greater than the length of the page you are using"

The problem is that it gives the error on one machine
and not on another with the identical setup.
The page size is also identical

Are there any settings that might cause this?

Thanks in advance

Could it be that one of the machines has "use default printer" checked and the default printer is not the Oki printer, and the margins you have set are outside the printable page area for the printer the reports is trying to be printed to?

Just a shot in the dark.
