Print preview Access 2000 vs Access 2003

[mscertified]

We just had XP installed (previously running Win 2000) and got Access 2003.
When I run a report in an Access 2000 app that does a print preview, the
preview opens up differently than it did with Access 2000. It seems to
default to 'to fit' rather than '100%' as it did before. 'To fit' gives an
unreadable report. Is there any way to fix this ???
I am displaying a custom print preview toolbar if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

It's a little unclear which version you are now referring to. The heading
suggests you were referring to 2003 but the text suggests you were referring
to 2002?

In both 2000 and 2002 mine defaults "to fit". I also provide custom toolbar
options "two pages" and "multiple pages". On any of them, all you need do is
click where you want to read and it comes up full-size. That is so easy that I
can't recall any user ever complaining. It is certainly faster if what they
want to see happens to NOT be the top of the first page.

So I'm having difficulty agreeing it's a problem or a new problem.
Nevertheless I agree it would be nice to have control over it, which I don't
see in either OpenReport or OpenForm parameters. How were you opening it in
A2000 to make it "100%"? (it's entirely possible I missed something!)

My fault.

I see you are also referring to Windows version. I'm not aware Windows version
affects it, in any case with Access2000 on Windows2000 I get "to fit" (and I
didn't really choose so I just always thought that's what it did, including
A97 on Win95!)

Still, it doesn't change my post.
