report text is illegible in A2010

[supmktg]

I have a report in an app that I built in A2003. When I open the app in A2010, everything seems to work well, except report preview, in which the text is spread out with huge spaces between the letters. In the page layout view, everything looks right including the sample text. Printing the report I get the same issue as in preview.

I've attached a pdf of the illegible report.

Any clue how I can fix this?

Thanks,
Sup

P.S. I am running A2010 on a Windows Virtual PC running XPmode if that makes a difference.

Did you check the text alignment?

Yes, text alignment is set to general. I tried left as well with no luck.

I just rebuilt one of the reports in A2010 by copying and pasting all of the controls and code module. The rebuilt report works perfectly.

I am developing in A2003 and the app will be used in both 2003 and 2010, against a Sql Server BE. I really hope that I won't have to rebuild all of the reports in 2010 each time a make a change. Has anyone else run into this problem, and found a solution?

Thanks,
Sup

I would have thought you set the Text Alignment to Distribute. Can you upload a sample db with the problem report for us to have a look?

Here's a sample A2003 db with the same issue in the report in A2010.

Thanks for looking at it!

Did you test the report you uploaded to make sure it isn't working? I've just opened it and it's coming up fine. I would have to suspect your VM.

 

[supmktg]

Yes, I tested the report and it had the same issue. I guess it is the vm causing the problem.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, that would be my guess.
