I have several reports set up to print out in landscape with non-default margins. Every now and then (not often), the page set up parameters revert back to the defaults. Any known reason why this is happening and what can be done to stop it? Thanks - Ham
 
I think the reverting back comes from the default settings of the printer at the time you want to print.<br>
First Open your report in design view.<br>
You can pick a Specific Printer in the Page Setup menu<br>
Click the Page TAB then &quot;Use Specific Printer&quot;<br>
Click the Printer button.<br>
Pick your printer <br>
Then set your options i.e. Landscape, Margins etc. on the Page Setup Menu.<br>
Click the different TABS at the top to see all of the settings available.<br>
Then SAVE the settings and it will remember them forever.<br>
Then close your report.<br>
