This is a strange one...i've changed my default printer but two of my reports are still printing to my old default printer when printing from code. i've gone in and printed manually to the 'right' default printer but its not saving the setting...HELP<br>
<br>
thanks!
 
Open your report in Design view<br>
Click &quot;File&quot;<br>
&quot;Page Setup&quot;<br>
Click the &quot;Page TAB&quot;<br>
Click Use &quot;Specific Printer&quot; (at the bottom)<br>
Box will un-gray<br>
click &quot;Printer&quot; box<br>
Pick your printer<br>
click File, Save to save the report<br>
Try it then<br>
The reports can be sent to any number of Printers<br>
Default or not<br>
But when you first create a report it embeds the printer name in it when you save it.<br>
<br>
This feature is nice when you print 3 or 4 reports and labels and envelopes simultaneously as we do here.<br>
click one button which has docmd.Openreport 4 times in a row for 4 different reports sent to 4 different printers.<br>
