Setting Print Properties Within A Report

[ericpsu32]

Hello,

I am currently faced with a delimma. My company wishes to have everything set up to print Monochrome to our color printer as the default. I have changed every user's default properties on the printers to be default, and most microsoft applications accept this, but in Access, the reports are printing differently. What is happening is that it is printing in whatever the settings on my machine were when the report was created.

I have found a way to fix this, by opening a new report in design view and copying the origninal report over and setting up all the code for the report to be the same then then resaving it. Since my PC is now set up to be mono as a default it will accept this and will default the report to mono.

What I am looking for is an easier way to do this without going through the process of creating a new report for each of the 100+ reports I would need to complete.

Please let me know if you can help me out!

Thanks
Eric

The page setup properties do not state anything about the color or monochrome options. I have already formated the report to properly fit the page using this setting. My issue is that the property for color or mono on the printer is somehow inherited in the actual report. So if I had my default settings on color when I built the report, even though I change my default settings to mono later, the report will still always print in color.

Any ideas?
