No printer installed

[mbentley]

I recently ran across an interesting problem. One of my users works off a computer with no printer installed. When trying to preview a report she got a 2202 error. Apparently you need a printer installed to preview a report. I had her install a "dummy"printer just to keep Access happy. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

You've already used it

I was hoping for something a little more programatically robust.

The print preview is wysiwyg and needs certain printer parameters to work. The same problem may also happen with other Microsoft programs such as Word and Excel.

I suspected as much. Guess I'll just write an error trap to replace the cryptic Access error message. Thanks, guys, for your help.
