Hi all, so I have a little issue I've been fixing repeatedly, and I can carry on doing it but it's getting annoying.
I have front-end and back-end SQL Lan, setup working fine otherwise.
I noticed when I distribute a new front-end version to the users, I have to reconfigure my report print settings.
For example one of the reports is a till receipt with no margins to allow the 80mm report on the 80mm till roll, but when I copy a new front-end version to my till pc's I need to open the receipt report, change the margins and save and it works fine. the issue doesn't stop there my a4 invoice report is printed by a local a4 lazer printer but for some reason that defaults to manual feed rather than auto-feed. this happened on my delivery note report also.
The issue only happens after a new version is copied and pasted onto the machine and only happens once, as soon as I make the saves it works fine until I make enough front-end changes to re-distribute.
The version of the frond end I work on is located on my desktop and I have checked 1000 times my printer settings are correct before I make the copies to distribute but still the reports go weird.
Any clues or suggestions would be great. obviously, as time goes on there will be fewer updates to the front end but as we are right now we are still "beta testing" and staff are coming to me with new ideas and things they would find useful in the latest version.
N.B The data is live and staff uses the system daily so I have to be cautious when I do back end-wise obviously.
