Change printer driver in Access 2000

[gundie]

I'm writing a program in Access 2000 that will send out faxes to customers. What I want to do is:

1. Start program
2. Change default printer driver to Winfax
3. Fax documents
4. Restore default printer driver to original

I've looked into ActivePrinter, but Access is giving me a

"Compile Error: Method or data member not found" on ActivePrinter.

What am I doing wrong?

For the changing and restoring printer bit...

'Decalre a printer variable
Dim prt As Printer
'Set it to the current default printer
Set prt = Application.Printer
'Change printer to your other queue
Application.Printer = Application.Printers("YourPrinterPathHere")
'Do your faxing code here
'Set printer back to original default
Application.Printer = prt

Application.Printer is not available in my version of Access 2000, which, I think, gundie is using.

Good spot. I seem to have forgotten to actually read the question
