I need a creative way to save the last printer that a user chose for a particular report in an MDE. The problem is that there is currently no user logins to store a printer to that person in a multi-person environment. Any ideas are appreciated...
 
use a local table, either store it in a linked table to to the local folder of the database, or save it in the mde of the file you distribute.

if you use an ade you'll have to do something like saving it in a registry file or text file or something like that,

Mark, thanks for the reply. I can't use local tables since I'm in an Access Project connected to an SQL server. I like the idea of using a text file. Can you provide any assistance with working with a text file and storing printer information? Thanks
