    Margins Errors - Always with MS Access

    Greetings all,

    Every time I setup a report to be a landscape layout, I always get the error saying "Report width is greater than page width" which, if you look at the following screenshot, they clearly are not. It does not matter how narrow I make the edge of the report nor the window frame, it always tells me something is wrong with the width.

    The next screen grab is while viewing in the Layout view, which again shows that the report is well within the actual margins of the layout.

    Am I missing something here?
    There are no hidden cells or anything in the form, so I do not understand why this issue ALWAYS happens when I switch to Landscape format.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.


    Thanks.

    What happens if you drag the right margin of the report to touch the right border of your bottom textbox with the pages? The error should go away.

    Cheers,
    Done that too... as I stated, it does not matter if I narrow the window from of the form or the form edges. It simply just does not seem to care.

    Fixed it...
    Apparently, Microsloth is stupid, as always.
    I had to physically exit the entire Access program and restart it and now, all of a sudden with no changes on my part, the error is gone.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
