Page margins keep changing back 1

[TerryEA]

Hi all

This must be a common problem. I set the margins on a report and when I come back to it the settings have reverted to the original (24.9mm).

What's the solution to this?

Have you switched off Name Autocorrect?

Hi Remou

?? Where do I find Name Autocorrect?

Terry

 

[Remou]

It is on Tools->Options->General Tab.

Got it! That seems to work but, now that I've read the help text on Name Autocorrect, a couple of little questions.

Could you explain how that affects the page size?

Will there be any detrimental effects of turning Name Autocorrect off, assuming I don't intend renaming objects? If I do want to rename objects (sometimes I want to copy a report, rename it and change it slightly) will I have to turn Name Autocorrect back on?

Name Autocorrect causes far more problems than it fixes:

It was meant to allow queries and forms to recognize fields that were renamed. Turning it off won't cause you problems if you wish to rename reports and so on.

Super - many thanks once again. You've saved me a great deal of hassle from a user.
