Saving Report Formats

[canadaboy]

I read that Access saves the formatting of a report (ie. margins and landscape vs. portrait).

Sometimes it remembers them and sometimes it does not.

The database is used by several people and I need to ensure that when someone opens a report it is brought up in the correct format.

Is there a more forceful way to ensure that Access remembers the formatting of my reports?

Any suggestions?

iirc, you can create a report template... & use it - it should load the same for everyone that way, no?

sorry i can't be of more help, but meh, i'm canadian too.

Hi there,

Make sure that the Option "Auto Correction" (I think thats what it is in the English Version) is turned off. (Options - General)

For some reason this sets the Margins back to the Standard Format if turned on!

I am pasting a reply of Pat Hartman's to another post here for completeness.

=======================
If you find that your report orientation changes, it is because of an Access bug. To eliminate the problem, go into Tools/Options and turn off all the Name AutoCorrect options.
