Some Data are not visible when viewing or printing the report

[encarne]

Some data such as fields containing date values do not appear when I view or print the report.

This occurs only on one workstation...on all other computers the report outputs the dates fine.

2 thoughts: Is the app using a font which isn't on that pc? If so, Win' can usually substitute a font but this isn't always clean.
Screen resolution: Is your defective screen at lower resolution? IF so the fields may be showing blank because the contents can't be rendered. This is more likely to manifest as ##### displayed, rather than blanks.

This came up a few weeks ago when using Date() for todays date. For some reason the more modern PCs don't like it and it should be replaced with =DateValue(now()). Hope that sorts you out.

I have a brand new computer, Date() works fine for me. Maybe it's the version of Access that's the problem.

Rich,
We use Access 97. I had a database that we had used for some time when this date problem occured a year or so ago. It was happening with various people and it was during a period of expansion so we were continually buying new PCs for them to use. I got one of the new PCs and one of the old ones to prove the point. The Date() problem was certainly there but if it's Access 97 specific I don't know. It's interesting that you don't have the problem though.

Oddly enough I have had this problem in the past, I don't remember the specific cure but I'm certain it was a missing reference problem each time.
