Hey all,
I've been trying to set up a form that will allow a user to choose a default printer for a report, sort of like the functionality in the page setup options for Access (2007).
All my searching is pointing me to Allen Browne's Print Selection Utility (http://allenbrowne.com/AppPrintMgt.html)
But this isn't what I'm looking for and I'm having a difficult time modifying his utility to fit my needs.
The main problem is that the utility allows a user to choose the default printer from an add-in toolbar at the print preview screen, which would be fine, however I am distributing a package and have the Access screen hidden/resized.
The desired goal is to have a preferences form where the reports are listed and a printer can be chosen for each one. I've gotten so far as to list the reports and available printers, I just don't know how to set the report to always default to that printer.
Any advice would be appreciated.
