I have recently converted an Access 97 application to Access 2003.

I've installed this as a runtime on several users' systems for testing purposes. These are Windows 2000 machines.

On two of these systems, there is a problem with reports formatted to print in landscape. The reports do one of two things, either they display on screen as landscape, but print portrait, or, they display as portrait and print portrait.

In each case, in page set up the orientation is set to landscape. Changing the orientation to portrait, and then back to landscape seems to temporarily solve the problem, however not permanently.

In each case, the systems are connected to a network printer.

Are there any known issues with this problem? The Access 97 version has had no such problem, with the exact same report and printers.

Some other users testing this 2003 runtime do not have the problem, so it's a bit of a mystery.

Thanks for any assistance....
