Update data after actual Print of Report

[Liv Manto]

I have created a label report of names, address of records that True value for field called MailThis(?).

After I print this label report I would update the boolean field called FinishPrint.

Which event do I put the code for the update?

I could create a message box after deactivating the report (just guessing) but I want to make sure that the report has actually been printed. This would probably check if the printer actually finished the print job.

Any ideas? Or is it too complicated that I should stay with the deactivate event message box?

Did it Print?

It has been a while since Pat said there is no way of knowing if a report actually printed so I have a little optimism!

I am in Access97 and have some essential reports that are opened in Print Preview. I really, really would like to know if the user actually printed the report opposed to just looking at it.

I can find no report property that might help me. This is to be an application that could find its way to any number of PC-Printer environments.

If any advancements have been made, I'd sure be interested!
