My Nikon D50 almost always chooses the left of three spots to focus.
How do I set the Nikon D50 to always autofocus on the center?
i dont know the answer, but i always get the same problem,
it will be interesting to find the anwser.

Ditto, almost.
I have a D70s that I acquired in May (2006),
and it frequently (but not always) decides to focus on the *right*most spot.
Like the OP, I can change it, but it reverts to this odd setting
as soon as I take the shot or, indeed, do almost anything.
