Page settings get lost ?

[Rob]

I have selected "Landscape" in the page settings of a report and then saved
it.
Every now and then, it appears to forget this setting when running the
report.

Anyone know how to avoid this problem ?

What version of Access is this?

If it is 2000, you need to apply the service packs. You can download them
from:
support.microsoft.com/sp
Be sure to get the JET sp as well as the Office sp.

You will also want to turn off Name AutoCorrect:

If 2007, there's a bug where it doesn't retain the settigns from the printer
dialog. Not fixed yet.

If this is a shared application and someone changes the report layout it
will stay that way for this until it gets changed back.
