Size of Report Changes

I created several reports and under Page Setup selected Landscape with a Size
of Legal (8.5 x 14 in.). When I moved the database to another computer, the
size changed to Letter(8.5 x 11 in.). Is there a way to prevent this from
happening ? or is there a way to set the Size programatically, after issuing
the DoCmd.OpenReport command ?
 
When the report definition spontaneously changes, two possibilities come to
mind.

First, if the Track Name Autocorrect info checkbox (General tab on Tools |
Options) is checked in earlier versions of Access, strange and (not so)
wonderful things would happen to report definitions.

Second, if the default printer (or printer driver) of PC #2 is not an exact
match for those on PC #1, strange things might happen.

Do either of those provide a clue?

The Autocorrrect info checkbox was checked. I unchecked it and it appears to
be working. Thank you.
