!@#$ Page Margins ...

[QTNM]

I have an Access 97 reporting DB.

On all other systems these reports print out fine.

I just set up this reporting system on a new computer and when I print, the reports print on two pages - second page had a tid bit of an order date.

On the other systems, all the page margins ( top, bottom, left & right ) are set to .25" and the column width is set to 8".

I also receive this message upon running the report:
The section width is greater then the page width, and there are no items in the additional space, so some pages may be blank.

If I manually move this Order Date field over it does not properly print in the Order Date box on the form fed document.

This report is printed to a OKI Microline 320 Turbo 9 pin dot matrix printer.

All my margins are at .25" EXCEPT for the right margin, which is at .416" ... WHICH I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE!! Why?

I have reinstalled the proper drivers for this printer and have up to Office SR-2 installed.

Why am I unable to change the right margin to .25", if all the other systems have this setting?

Any suggestions are muchly appreciated, as I am seriously frustrated with this situation .... if I have left out any pertinent info .. please send your questions my way ....

Cheers!

Oooppss ....

I mis-posted this message ... it should actually be in the "Reports" section ... how can I move the post.

I want to refrain from creating a double post.

Anyone ?

On the PC that is giving you the problem;

Make sure that the paper size in the printer setup is correct.
Make sure that the paper size for the report (in access) is correct.

I have a program (access) and some of the reports in it have margins down to .3 and it if the printer is set to US - Letter paper size instead of A4 I have the same problem as you.

It is a long time since I used an Oki 320, I think that .416 might be the min. that you can set it to.
