Setting defaults with reports 1

[SidCharming]

Is there any way to setup a default setting so all my reports open with a certain font, size and background setting? I have to perform a routine set of commands to establish a base before I build my report.

Should be simple, but I haven't found out how to do this and it is bothering me that I have to do this each time I start a new report (forms too, but I don't do enough for that to bother me)

Thanks

You can create your own template by using the format option. Open a report in detail mode that has all of the settings you need, on the menu bar click Format, Auto Format. In the window that pops up you will see a button for customise. That is what you want. You will want to creat a new AutoFormat based on your report. GIve it a title to save the template to. Now each time you start a new report, just select Format and your customised report will be in the list.

Let me know if you need more info.

Oh, and the forms work the same way. Use the Format option.
