No Printer 1

[avagodro]

I have a database with numerous people use. I have the reports set up for Print Preview, since they need to preview the report, then if all looks good they send the report to a Mail Recipient.
I encountered a problem with print preview with a user that doesn't have a printer installed. When he attempts to preview, he receives an error message that there is no default printer installed, and will not proceed past this.
I am trying to figure out some way that I can still have the Print Preview available whether or not a user has a printer installed or not. Any suggestions?

Can you install a printer and set it to print to file, or use say, WinFax?

I can't but it is on the last to have our IT dept look at.

I was just hoping that there could be some type of work around, since no one ever prints the report. They just preview it, then email it.

.. but it is on the last ..

A lot of people have IT depts like that it seems. :-D

It likely is at the bottom of their lists. Heck, it took a year and a half for them to get around to looking at my computer. And it was rebooting all of a sudden right in the middle of running critical processes.
That is why I was hoping to find a "work around" to not having a printer installed.

I have not tried this, but perhaps you could save the report as a Snapshot or RTF and use that as the preview?
