Hello, I have an Access 2003 application that I deploy as a mde file. I'm using the access runtime for deploying to my users machines. Once you have a report open in preview mode how do you print it to first get the print dialog to display to pick a different printer than your default?

I tried creating a custom toolbar and dragging the print icon onto it but this just directly prints to the default printer and doesn't give you the option to change.

Thanks

Don
 
In your Custom Toolbar
Right Click -> Customise
Remove the existing Print Icon.
In Customise Dialog Box Choose Commands Tab
Under Categories, Click on File (1st One)
Under Commands (Right Side) Scroll Down untill you see Print... Icon
(Remember it should be Print... Not Just Print)
Drag the Print... Icon to your custom Toolbar
Close the Customise Dialog Box

Let me know how it goes.
Regards.
