The width of the TextBox is too small.
+ Access option: Check for truncated number fields

I'm going to guess that some of your date fields contain a time component and therefore, the control is not wide enough to show the full value.

1. If you actually want time included with the date, widen the field so the whole string can be visible.
2. If the date should not contain time, then find the problem code or query that is using Now() rather than Date() to populate the field. Now() = date + time, Date() = date only

But surely you are quite capable of widening the control?

Or checking the value in the table where hopefully there is no format applied to the column so you can see whether any rows contain time with the date.

Yes London, the only thing I was curious, why if I print review, nothing was truncated, but when I print in pdf, some was truncated, and some looked good.

probably due to pdf's requiring a slightly larger 'space', perhaps it intereprets the font slightly differently. PDF's are not photographs. Without knowing the date values that are obscured, can't be sure but the solution should be to widen the space
