I have just upgraded to 2010 from 2007 and have opened my 2007 application in 2010.

In the original msAccess 2007 program, after filling out information on a form, I have a triggered DoCmd:

DoCmd.OpenReport "rptIntakePrintedForm", acViewNormal, , "VisitID = " & Me.VisitID

In Access 2007, the report was sent to the Windows default printer. However, in Access 2010, the report is sent to a specific printer which is not always accessible, depending where I am. (That printer was used where the report was originally developed.)

Is there a 'switch' that I need to set in 2010?

Note: I found the problem... For some reason, the report mentioned had the "Use Specific Printer" option (radio button) selected. I found it in the REPORT DESIGN TOOLS super-tab > "Page Setup" Tab > "Page" sub-tab.
Therein you can select either the "Default Printer" or "Use Specific Printer" radio button. MBA
