There are quite a few mechanisms for this but I am not very familiar with them.
A web site to look into is www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html that reviews and shows a number of different viewer options (free and $).
I am not sure how to address your other problem with the numeric field switching to ####.
Is it possible that they are viewing different data (mostly volume) than you? For example when you ar designing the report you are limiting the data pulled in to make it easier to spot check and design, however your end users are looking at larger data scopes (like FY sales)?
This would be a more likely issue than the monitor size.
The ####### appears when a numeric amount is too large to fit in the alloted field space. Usually happens on Sums or Counts. WHen you design you have to test it for what you think the largest number would be not what looks good on your test / design report set.
Is this what is happening?
