I just converted a program to Access 2007/2010 format. It's a program that started in Access 95 so it is very mature.

However, after the conversion, field sizes in many instances have been too small for the size of the data. Instead I have forms and reports with ##### printing instead of the data and I have to expand the field size.

Also I'm now experiencing page overflow on some printed reports - 2nd page is generated where before there was none - all blank. This happens specifically in a report that is fully utilizing all available space on the first page already.

Any ideas?

It sound like the fonts have changed. Are you using themes?

FWIW: I only convert database from .mdb to .accdb is there is really something I must have that is only in the new format. I create an MDE with 2007 or 2010 for use with 2007 or 2010.
