SYMPTOMS

If you modify a Print Setup setting while you are previewing a report, Microsoft Access does not ask you to confirm the changes; the changes are automatically saved. This behavior differs from Microsoft Access version 2.0, which prompts you to save any changes you make while you are previewing a report.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
