Money may not always remember which printing options you selected for its various kinds of output. For example, if you choose one printer for printing checks and a different printer for printing reports and charts, your settings for printing checks may change when you return to the Printer Setup dialog box.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Money version 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. This problem was corrected in Money version 4.0 for Windows 95.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) In the Control Panel window, choose the Printers icon, and set up a default printer and two other printers.
 * 2) Start Money and open a new file.
 * 3) From the File menu, choose Print Setup.
 * 4) Click Check Printing and choose one of the nondefault printers.
 * 5) Without closing the Print Setup dialog box, click the Report and Chart Printing radio button and choose the other nondefault printer.
 * 6) Choose OK.
 * 7) From the File menu, choose Print Setup again.

Notice that the printer you chose for report printing is still selected, but if you click Check Printing, its setting has returned to the default printer.

NOTE: Money retains the printer setting you set last. In other words, if you choose the Report and Chart Printing printer first, and then select your printer for Check Printing, the print options you chose for Check Printing will remain selected, and the Report and Chart Printing settings will be lost.
