Hi Debbie

Could it be the old Autocorrect bug? 
I cannot recall right now how to deal with it but look up the archive.

And check that the latest service pack is installed.

Everywhere, several machines at the customer site just to be sure. 
Tried
changing paper size in design view and saving as the first thing on
each.

Hi Debbie

Is this happening at the customer's site?
Did you open the report at the customer in design view, change paper
size, save, open, and print?

I have a report that has been on legal size paper for quite a while. 
Now, I am being asked to condense it (virtually illegible, but that is
what
the customer wants) onto letter size paper.  I have condensed the
report
and made the report width narrower so that it will fit on letter
paper,
however, the report still prints on legal.  

Page setup says letter, and in fact will not allow any other size to
be saved.  Changing printers has not stopped the report from printing
on
legal size paper, I have even tried importing it into a different
database to
see if that would fix it.  

This is tremendously strange, especially considering that normally I
have the opposite problem.  Access tends to make every report letter
size if
the printer changes.  I am rapidly approaching the point where I am
ready
to re-create the report from scratch, but I am hoping that one of you
knows what is going on and can direct me to a fix.

I am using Access 2002 and a SQL 2000 back end.
