Access 2000 report does not recognize default printer

I am using an MDE....have had no problem with the report printing to whatever the user's default printer was. Now if there is a user with multiple printers, even if they have the default printer set...it automatically goes to the first printer that does not contain the network path in it's name! If the user only has one printer and it is set to default, report works as it should.

For example, I have a default printer named //ServerName/PrinterFolder/PrinterName1 and have that set as my default printer. Then I have a second printer named Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer, which is not a default but a printer that is occassionally printed to (also on the network), my access report will automatically select the Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer printer as the one to print to!!!

Everything worked fine yesterday, even after the Windows 2000 server was updated with latest service pack. Now this morning, after we synchronized the database with it's relica and made a new .mde for the users.....this happened. Is it access, or could it have been something in the service pack? The report was designed to use "default printer" and has not been changed.

Have all latest SP's for Access 2000....

Any ideas? This is a major problem.

Thanks,

Rosanne
