Hi all

When you modify a reports page setup for documents that are to be printed
sometimes on letter headed paper and at other times not, when you close the
report and open it again it retains the page setup settings. When I package
the program as an MDE File the changes are not saved meaning that the page
setup has to be modified every time the report is printed.

Anybody know a way around this?

There was an issue with reports "forgetting" and flaking out in an earlier
version. This was related to a bug with the Track Name Autocorrect setting
in Tools | Options. Try unchecking that, if it's checked, then
re-compiling.

Good luck

I seem to recall seeing another printer driver-related issue. ?Tried
Googling on this topic?

Hi Jeff
Had a good search on Google found some interesting stuff but no success.

I wonder if the solution is to produce a form that sets the possition of the
controls on the report in the on format property of the report. I.e.
TextBoxA.Top = Forms!PageSetupForm!Top
TextBoxA.Left = Forms!PageSetupForm!Left
 
I haven't followed the entire thread but you do realize than the user CANNOT
make changes to a report contained within an MDE?
