The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
After changing your form or report to print in a different paper
orientation (such as landscape), it does not print in the orientation you
chose. After checking the Print Setup dialog box, you find that none of the
changes you made were saved.
CAUSE
Changes made in the Print Setup dialog box are not saved under the
following conditions:
- The report contains functions that change one or more run-time settings
and you choose Print Setup from the File menu while previewing the
report.
- When you open a form into Form view, Datasheet view, or Print Preview,
switch to Form Design view, then choose Print Setup from the File menu.
RESOLUTION
For reports, make changes in the Print Setup dialog box from the Database
window, rather than while previewing the report.
For forms, make changes in the Print Setup dialog box while the form is
open in Design view, rather than while previewing the form.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access
version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access
version 7.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Open any form in Datasheet view.
- Preview the form.
- From the File menu, choose Print Setup. Change the orientation from
Portrait to Landscape.
- Switch the form back to Design view, and then save and close the form.
- Open the form in Design view and choose Print Setup from the File menu.
Note that the orientation is still set to Portrait.
