Access 2000:Print settings keep changing

C

I have created reports and saved the margins and column settings. But, I
always get a call from co-workers stating these settings are messed up.
These settings will be great for a number of days, and then they get changed.
I have often wondered if one of the users is doing an "oops" and resetting
those certain reports back to default, or is there a bug that might be
causing this? This is a small office and I really don't think this is a
malicious event.

If you are using Access 2000 this is a known bug and is documented in
the Microsoft Knowledgebase article:
Q245021 'List of Fixed Problems in Microsoft Office 2000 Service
Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a)'
And specifically:
Q240826 'Lost Printer Settings when Name Autocorrect is turned on'

Turn off the Name AutoCorrect feature as a temporary 'fix'.
Then download and install the Service Release 1/1a.

Even if you are not using Access 2000, turn off the Name AutoCorrect.
Tools + Options + General Tab.
