Label reverts to default page setup

[Jim Tinder]

I've created a 3 1/3 x 4 label report using the label
report wizard. I modified the layout for our return
address. The label printing is inititated from a command
button on a form. On the form is list of orders to print
and a starting position (1-6 labels/page). The "run"
command button first writes out to a table the appropriate
number (starting label number) of blank records and then
the appropriate label information for the orders selected.

The problem is frequently, haven't been able to detemine a
pattern yet, the label layout reverts back to a default
report page setup values (i.e. 1 column, 1" margins etc).

I've never had this issue before (but I've never used the
starting position idea before). Any thought?

Thanks

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.
