I keep losing my margins

[Anthony George]

Hi Everyone

I wonder if anyone can help me please.

I have a form that nearly fills an a4 sheet of paper when printed. For this reason I have to set the margins from 24.99 down to 5.

This is ok and the form works well and prints out properly about 75% of the time. Occasionaly when I open the form it has reverted back to the 24.99 margins which of course prints out on three sheets of paper and is all over the place.

Is ther a way to set the margins on load and can anyone suggest an appropriate bit of code.

Kindest regards

Tony

Forms aren't designed to be printed, use a report instead

Re Reports

Hello my friend

Thanks for your reply.
I took your advice and put the contents of my form into a report and it worked well.

Then I closed the database, reopened it and the Report margins had defaulted back to 24.99.

Any more ideas? or do you think that I might have a glitch in my version of access 2000.

Kindest regards

Tony

Turn of the AutoCorrect feature or download the patch to correct the problem

Just a thought - are you altering the margins in page setup in design view or not. I think the margins only remain saved if you change in design view not page / report view
