    Report printing weird problem

    I am facing a very weird problem, I have a report that fits to the page width without any problem on screen and when printed.


    I made a copy of this report (without changing anything in the design) and only changed the control source of one text box to show some date in the next month, now the report shows perfectly like the old one on the screen but when printed, it does not fit to the page width anymore and it prints on two pages. It is like the printing setup of the old report are not copied to the new one.
    Anyone encountered such a weird issue?

    Not that I can recall. Would have to examine reports. If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Actually I now noticed the problem, it is the right margin in the report's page setup. It should be changed for both reports.
    I wonder how this value didn't show a problem for the old report but showed a problem with the copied one.

    The only reason I can think of is if no control actually extended into that margin area which implies the new control did. And if it does not, then different results is a mystery.
