field does not always display my information.

[Guest]

I have a database developed for tracking control results, for each test we
perform in our lab. This also tracks control lot number, expiration date,
target mean and STD Dev. Plus much more. This part all works fine. I have a
form, that I have an issue with. This displays the control results alone with
other information we enter. I have a field in this form that shows arrows, up
when greater than the mean or down arrow when below mean. The arrows display
on some of the computers that we use in the lab. Is there a reason why they
would not display on all machines? The arrows are thier but, do not display
all the time. Why would this be?

This is in Control Source =[Results]<([RangMean])
This is in Format ╘;╩ (displays arrows, wingding3)

Is the Wingdings 3 font installed on all those computers?

Yes the computers all have wingding 3 on them. I changed the arrows to just
- Wingdings. I still have issues with the arrows not showing.

Nothing else really occurs to me offhand, except maybe differences in
the video drivers. Does it make any difference if you make the text box
bigger? If you go to a normal text font, like Arial, do you see the
correct values in the text box?
