Report Margins

I have a quote program created that allows a user to preview a report when the information is all inputted. I set up the report to have margins of .5" for top, bottom, right, and left and to display in landscape mode. I save these settings.

When the report is displayed in seems to always go to 1" margins all the way around and to portrait mode. I thought when you save your settings in access it will perserve them. Is there something I can do to always have the same margins? Can I use code behind to specify report printing properties?

Thanks
 
Two suggestions:

1. Turn off the Name AutoCorrect options under:
Tools | Options | General
This is a known problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=240826

2. Check that you have the latest service pack for your version of Office
from:
support.microsoft.com
Choose About from the Help menu.
It should show "SP3" for Office 2000, or "SP2" for Office 2002.

The Office SP-3 patch did not correct the bug regarding report margins
changing.

I had to un-check the "Name AutoCorrect" option.
