Narrative:
Upon checking in with msp approach, they gave us a choice of runways 12L or 12R. We selected runway 12R and programmed the FMS for ILS runway 12R. After handoff with final controller, he gave us a 150 degree heading to intercept localizer cleared for approach runway 12L. Runway 12R was still programmed, so that is what we flew without catching the change of runway. Msp tower caught the mistake when we reported over the marker for runway 12R (kinns). He then cleared us to land runway 12R.

Title: AN ACR FLC FLYING AN A320 AT MSP FAILS TO PROPERLY PROGRAM THEIR FMC RESULTING IN AN APCH TO THE WRONG RWY.
Narrative: UPON CHKING IN WITH MSP APCH, THEY GAVE US A CHOICE OF RWYS 12L OR 12R. WE SELECTED RWY 12R AND PROGRAMMED THE FMS FOR ILS RWY 12R. AFTER HDOF WITH FINAL CTLR, HE GAVE US A 150 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT LOC CLRED FOR APCH RWY 12L. RWY 12R WAS STILL PROGRAMMED, SO THAT IS WHAT WE FLEW WITHOUT CATCHING THE CHANGE OF RWY. MSP TWR CAUGHT THE MISTAKE WHEN WE RPTED OVER THE MARKER FOR RWY 12R (KINNS). HE THEN CLRED US TO LAND RWY 12R.
