I'm trying to get an access program to print different information to different printers on the click of a button. I found a help page on the Microsoft product support services page at but this returns an error when I try and run it - Block If without End If. I can't actually see where the error is coming from, but does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

Thanks,
Matt.
 
I have a button on a form that prints two different reports two printers. I use the on click event to trigger a macro. The macro uses the OpenReport action with the view property set to print. You can use two OpenReport actions in a row to specify the two reports you want to print.

On the Report page setup <File, Page Setup> you will want to set the printer to use specific printer. Chose the printer that you want each report to print to. Give this a try. It works for me, good luck.


 
Wow, if it really is that simple that's cool. I'll give it a go.

Thanks!
Matt.
