ACC2: Print Definition Report Truncated

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q120876
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you use the Database Documentor or the Print Definition command to print or preview a report containing design information for a database object, the report is truncated.

CAUSE

The default printer's orientation is set to landscape, and the paper size is set to legal (8.5 by 11 inches).

RESOLUTION

Change the printer settings so that the paper size is not set to legal or so that the orientation is not set to landscape.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. In Windows Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon, and then change the settings for the default printer so that its orientation is set to landscape and the paper size is set to legal (8.5 by 11 inches).

  2. Start Microsoft Access.

  3. Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.

  4. In the Database window, select the Employees table.
