PRTDEVMODE,PRTDEVNAME 1

[GShen]

Hi,
Is there anywhere where I can find code in ACCESS 2000 to change the properties of thes objects? It seems as though prtdevmode is a string of 94 characters. Where can I get the layout of the 94 and/or how do you change any of this?
Everything I have seen says ACCESS 2002 can do all of this easily. Unfortunately, we are not going to 2002. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to dynamically change the properties of a report as to what printer it is going to use. I want to create a drop down of printers and have the user select one and then print. Not sure what to put in the drop down nor what to do with it once I have it selected.

Thanks.

Use Microsoft's Knowledge Base to find this information.

They explain it quite well.

I did. The 1st thing they tell you is that the structure is defined in the WIN32 Softaware Developement Kit which I do not have. It looks like you have to create a module and somehow call it to do your changes. I am just a little confused as to changing the 94 byte record layout if you don't know what positions anything is in.

VicRauch,

COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To sit back and try and write and/or decifer this would take a month. I downloaded the code and ran it. Works like a charm. It is exactly what I want to do.

THANKS!!!!!!
