Question Change Print Options Outside of a button

[new_2_prog]

I don't know if this is possible or not but worth a shot.

Some of our users here when they have a form up they want to print it so they click the print button on the toolbar or right-click and select print.
For some the page comes out nice and fills up the page, others its really small in one corner unless they go and change their page set up then it prints out nice.

My question is, is there a way to set the printing of a form/forms to take up the page by default so they don't have to mess around with their settings? Espically since they all print off different printers.

Thanks!

Stacey,

Sure, use a report! I have never found it a good idea to print a form when you have the power in Access's report design.

Note: You can save a form as a report is you really want the repor to look exactly the same as the form.

I was trying to do this without the use of a command button because we have several forms.

The previous programmer has some modules built that has something to do with default printing but I don't think anything is calling the functions.

If it were me, I would make a report for each form.
