page set up - margins

L

Lori

I am using Access 2003 and have created many label reports. I'm not sure
what happened but all of my label reports (my regular reports were not
affected) had the page setup changed globally. For example, the bottom
margin on all were set to 10!

I'm not sure how this could have happened. These reports were created over
the last couple weeks. Today, I tried to make a macro to open a newly
created label report - I don't know if this could have done a globally change
though. I know it sounds nuts but ALL labels reports (they all use a
different query as the data source) have the same page set up changes which
is why I thought it could have been a global change to the Custom paper size.
Is this possible?

Is there any way to globally change the page set for all or will I need to
go back manually and change each one? Also, any ideas on how this could
happen? My macro simply opened a report, nothing fancy.

Thanks for any help!

Did you change or update your default printer driver? The change might have
affected the minimum allowed bottom margin. In that case your stored value is
still there, it is just not allowed to override the driver's minimum or maximum
settings.

Hi Rick,

I noticed these changes working on a different computer (I'm working from a
relative's home) - so do you think I'm ok - it's just the printer drivers on
this pc versus those at my home and work? I haven't done anything with
drivers - just switched work stations as I'm out of town.
