Text Truncation in Access Report Controls
Around May 14, 2026, we began experiencing text truncation on the right side of text box controls in Access (Office 365) reports. Approximately 2–4 characters are cut off whenever font size is below 10pt. All reports in our environment are affected and the problem was not present prior to May 14. We ruled out layout as a contributing factor by verifying page size, margins, report width, control dimensions, padding, and layering were all correctly set. No layout changes resolved the issue. The problem does not occur when font size is set to 10pt or higher, suggesting the update affected font metric calculations for small font sizes. Steps taken without resolution include adjusting all report and control sizing properties, testing multiple default printer configurations including Microsoft Print to PDF and Adobe PDF, and verifying Windows display scaling was set to 100%. If anyone has any solutions, please let me know! Thank you for your time.
How to quickly change a MS Access Report header with the new year?
Hi All, I have an Access database that produces Reports every year so I have to manually change the text from 2018 to 2019. Is there an easy way to go this - I cannot see and "Find & Replace" . Or could the new year 2019 be held in a field so it would populate the Report header automatically. All suggestions welcome but I am not a programmer Thanks Bert
