Dear Chris,

Thank you for your advise. I know that different type of
printers even though with the same manufacturer don't have
the same minimum margin. Different brand of printer also
doesn't print with the same width. I'm working with
government form. Example I'm using Times New Roman 10 to
print a sentence. In deskjet, the width of sentence on the
paper is 5', but print with laser or dot matrix printer,
the width is nearly 5'.

Are you facing the same problem?
One more, Access 2000 mdb can't be opened using Access
2003?

Thanks.

Vensia
