When I startup my Access 2007 application, and read the printers collection
from Application.Printers - there current, i.e., they list the printers that
are currently in the end-users printer and fax form associated with their
network login.

Since part of our system requirements are to extend means for the end-user
to create/remove printers from "Start | Printers and Faxes" taskbar item -
therefore on occasion it can happen that new printers are either added or
current printers are removed accordingly.

Issue I'm having with Application.Printers collection is that THIS IS NOT
CURRENT after network printers are changed unless I quit the access
application and relogin again. Basically, I'd like to have end-user not QUIT
the access application - but I assumed that if they changed the network
printers their using - working @ different site facility and we provide means
to access ONLY those printers - than when I re-read the Application.Printers
property it doesn't update itself with new printers in collection [again /
only unless I QUIT the access app and relogin is this proper].

Is this a design limitation - OR, is there a way that I can use this Access
Application object to give me the current list of printers as they can
possibly be changed dynamically by end-users.

Kind regards for assistance
