Set reports to always preview and print as LEGAL and LANDSCAPE

[Cachelot]

I have 10 to 15 different reports and most of the have to be previewed and printed on a LEGAL paper and LANDSCAPE. When different people on different computer preview these reports sometimes they preview and print fine but sometimes they preview and print on LETTER paper and PORTRAIT.

How can I make these reports ALWAYS, on any computer, preview and print on a LEGAL paper and as LANDSCAPE?

Thanks for your help,

Hi There:

There is a bug in Access 2000 which causes the printer settings to revert to the default when the "Perform Name Autocorrect" feature is enabled. To make things more insane, the problem only occurs the second time the report is previewed.

This article explains the problem.

Go to the following URL:

The quick fix is to uncheck "Perform Name Autocorrect" (Tools, Options, General Tab). The permanent fix is to download Office 2000 Service Release 1/1A (just a small 20mB download).

That should help.
