Same report in 2 databases but not showing the same layout?

Storm

Hi

I've been asked to look into an error in a report (a section that needs to be on the same page as the section right before it, but isn't).

In my own test database it is working just fine, but when I try running the report in another database it is messed up... which I don't understand since I have compared the two reports and they are exactly the same.

Can it be something to do with printer setup? the properties for the report are the same in the two datebases.

I have tried debugging the reports and in the *bad* report it looks like the system is ignoring the Transfooters and -headers... but why I don't know...

I really hope you can help me figuring this one out... I can't see a logical explanation.

I think you already know the problem

Do you have the same printer drivers installed on both machines? Navision inherits some of the preview and print defaults from these drivers. I find that it can help to install a PDF printer or use the same network printer on both machines to run those kinds of tests as then both machines are using the same print driver.

You may also want to check the KeepWithNext properties and see if changing those help.

Do not forget that values of printer margins etc. are based on the default printer. It means if you do preview on one system and preview on another with different default printer, the result will be different...
