print dialog

Is there any good way to bring up the print dialog one a user defined print
button. I would like to give the user the ability to change the printer to
use for a print job and then run my code for what to print. I am currently
using microsoft commond dialog 6.0 on my form and it works fine in the
development environment, but when I went to install on a user machines I got
"there is no object for this control", which I read is a common dialog
problem.

So is there another way or a solution to this problem that I am missing?

If you bring up the report in Print Preview mode, they can choose File,
Print... from the menu bar to change the printer, e.g.

DoCmd.OpenReport "reportName", acPreview

Thank you for the reply, actually the code behind the print loops through a
specific set of clients and prints only their reports so I need the printer
decision to be made once before the print job starts.
