Hell

I create reports in Access 2000, and set the margins to 0.5 inches an
landscape, print reports, go back a little later and all is ok.

However, the settings are not saved permanently - they revert back t
portrait and 1 inch margins when I return a second time. Is it m
computer memory?

Thank

If you are using Access 2000 this is a known bug and is documented
in the Microsoft Knowledge base articles:

240826 'Lost Printer Settings when Name Autocorrect is turned on'
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=240826

245021 'List of Fixed Problems in Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a)'
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=245021

Turn off the Name Autocorrect feature as a temporary 'fix'.
To turn off this feature go to
Tools | Options | General

Then download and install the Service Release 1/1a for Access 2000.
After that it would be wise to continue updating to Service Pack 3
(the latest for Office/Access 2000).
