page settings on report reset irratically and upredictably - why?

[marnold37341]

I have several Access reports with page setup settings of "landscape" and top/bottom/side margins other than 1".

I save the changed page setup parameters by saving the report, and all goes well for a while. Then, for some reason, the settings for the reports revert back to the default settings of "portrait" and 1" for top/bottom/side margins.

Resetting the parameters is straightforward, but the reversion to the default settings is very frustrating for the users, and requires me to make an onsite visit to correct the problem.

Any thoughts on the cause, and most importantly, the cure?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

Turn off "Track Name Autocorrect Info". In Access 2000 this is under "Options" on the "General" tab. This is a confirmed bug in Access 2000.

This is a bug that gets fixed with the Office SR-1 update I believe, but maybe SP-2. If you search this site, I know I have posted information on it in the past. The bug is, if you have the 3 Name Auto correct settings checked under the General tab in the Options, for some reason it causes your issues. Strange sounding I know, but it is true. If you can't find information on this site, try searching Microsoft.com's knowledge base. If you don't find anything post again and I will try and help you further. Dawn
