Narrative:

On descent into atlanta we were on the erlin arrival when ATC cleared us to herko intersection; then the herko arrival for runway 28. The first officer programmed the FMS for direct to the herko intersection on the herko arrival. We noticed that the FMS was still set up for runway 26R. ATC told us to turn right direct to fogog intersection and rejoin the arrival for runway 28. After rejoining the arrival the runway correction was made in the FMS. Changing arrs and runways caused the FMS to change the course because runway 26R is on the north side of the airport and runway 28 is on the south side. I will always make sure that I rechk the runway section when there is an arrival change in the FMS to prevent this from happening.
