Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).


SYMPTOMS

On a computer that is running Windows 98, when you print text that includes the euro symbol from a table in Datasheet view to any Hewlett-Packard printer, the euro symbol may be printed as expected, may not be printed at all, or may be printed as just a dot, even though print preview displays the euro symbol properly.

NOTE: From computers running Windows NT and Windows 2000, the euro symbol is printed correctly on Hewlett-Packard printers.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

For additional information and to obtain SR-1/SR-1a, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

To temporarily work around this problem, use a nonresident font, like Tahoma.

STATUS
