Access 2000 report margin settings

I have created a report in an Access 2000 database. I use page setup to modify the default margins from 1" to .5" on top, bottom, left and right and then save the report.
The report (inconsistently) loses the margins and resets them to the default. I may be able to print only that report only one time or I may be able to print it several times over a couple days but sooner or later the margins return to 1".
Anyone have an idea what is happening.

TIA

There is a bug in A2000 with Autocorrect that causes printer settings to be lost.  Turn Auto Correct off.

Also, make sure you are specifiying "specific printer" when setting things up. If you choose "Default printer", you'll get whatever the printer was last set to.

Thanks Jim,

That appeared to be my problem. How did I manage to write 30+ programs with multiple reports over the last 2 years and not run into this before?

Don't waste time answering that one since I am not giving any points for it.

Thanks again,

Tim

Thank you Jim for your quick, and correct, answer. I apologize for taking so long to get back here and give you your points. Got going on other things and just forgot.

Thanks again,
