Print Margins & Orientation

[Paul O'Leary]

Increasingly when developing Access 2000 databases the
reports I've created "lose" their print setup margins and
orientation. It's a random but inevitable occurrence in
one particular database. I can run any report several
times OK, then perhaps go to another part of the
database, then return and preview/run the report again
and PRESTO my report has reverted to Portrait from
Landdscape and adopted margins of 25mm around!

It can't just be me experiencing this problem?

If you are using Access 2000 this is a known bug and is documented in
the Microsoft Knowledgebase article:
Q245021 'List of Fixed Problems in Microsoft Office 2000 Service
Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a)'
And specifically:
Q240826 'Lost Printer Settings when Name Autocorrect is turned on'

Turn off the Name AutoCorrect feature as a temporary 'fix'.
Then download and install the Service Release 1/1a.

I´ve experienced the same problem. When I change design
in one report all of a sudden the margin or oriantation
change in another. So when I make big chanes in report I
always has to check the design. Ones the report i OK and
my users uses the database they never have the problem
it´s onely when you change some report that it change
another sometimes.
Don´t know why
