Rick,

IC, but reports also carry printer settings, in fact the report designer saves the printer settings at the moment that you save the report.

Now if you change the settings of your printer of your development machine, like setting it in lanscape, open the report and save the report, the compiled version of the new report contains the landscape setting.

... but you still have somehow to bring the new version to your clients PC.

BTW, I assume you develop your reports on a separate machine that has the same printer (or at least the same printer drivers set as default) as the one that is used by your user.

Another assumption might be that you change the report _on_ the user's machine. Then if the report is part of a project that needs to be rebuilt, odds are that users are still working on the old version that is contained in the report ... if you did not rebuild the project.

There a very easy way to find out that you have an update version problem. Change something visual on the report and see if you can see the changes. If you can ... then pray some else has the answer to your plight :)

Kind regards,

Marc
