Landscape form always opens as portrait

[Kathy]

I have developed a form that the page setup is saved as
landscape. If I don't open up the page setup and look at
the page setup--which is correct, the file will actually
print in portrait form. (If you do a print preview it
will show the portrait--then open page setup--don't touch
the settings, just close the box, then the page setup will
go back to landscape.)

Does anyone know how to get a form or a report to be saved
and open and print in the landscape mode so I don't have
to keep doing this?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

It is common bug.

You can turn off AutoCorrect, but the real solution is to install the bugs
fixes included with the sr office update. You really do want to install
this, it fixes a lot of other bugs also.

It seems you are trying to print a Form - well, don't! Forms are for
data entry, manipulation and viewing. Reports are for printing and
have all the tools for that, including what you want. You can often
use the same Queries for your Report as you have under your Forms.
