Can anyone shed any light on the best way to go about retrieving and setting the default printer in Win2000 from VBA? In win95/98 you could do it via Win.Ini but this is no longer it seems
TIA

In VBSCRIPT, it's pretty easy. You should be able to use something like this.

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddPrinterConnection "LPT1:", "\\Server\Print1"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Server\Print1"
