Printing Forms and Saving Them

[Moebius]

I sometimes use Forms as Reports to print out my tables. However, the forms do not always save my page setups that I tell it too. For example I have 3 forms, all that should print on legal with 0" margins, but they won't stick. One form may keep the settings while the next one will go back to letter-portrait style. How do you keep the settings. I've tried printing then saving the form, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I'm using MS Access 2000 btw.

Reports would work a lot better. I know it's easy to print the form but now you are experiencing the problem with doing that. Reports will stay the way you want them too and you can make the report look like the form if you want to.

My bet is that you are using Access 2000 (original release).

You need to install the SR1 service release to fix this problem and others.
Actually you need to install SR1 then install SP3 .. to fix many other problems in Access 2000.
