Unfortunately, she hasn't changed a thing. She printed the report with 3 different parameters today. Param 1 OK, Param 2 Portrait. Retry on Param 2 OK, Param 3 & 4 both OK. All of these done one right after the other. After she talked to me, she tried Params 2 & 3 four times each. She got one Portrait on try 3 of Param 2 and another on try 2 of Param 3.

No pattern I can see. Before she tried this, she opened the report file again and re-set the printer -- she's actually using her default windows printer, which is identical to the printer the report was developed under.
Thanks,
