Print Form on network

When printing to a shared printer I find that the printer
settings always revert back to the default printer rather
than the printer initialy chosen in page setup.

Can I use some VB Script to define which network to print
a form to using OnClick event procedure and if so what
code should I use.

Many Thanks,

Sean
 
If you have defined a printer in report *design* view, under:
File | Page Setup | Page | Use specific printer
but Access does not retain this setting even on the same computer and with
no changes to the printer driver, then you have probably stuck this Name
AutoCorrect bug:
Lost Printer Settings When Name AutoCorrect Is Enabled

If you want to specify a specific printer at runtime, from the list of
printers installed on the user's computer (regardless of what you had at
design time), and have Access remember a printer for each report, see:
Printer Selection Utility
at:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~allenbrowne/AppPrintMgt.html
The approach in that article (setting the Application.Printer) is suitable
only for Access 2002 or 2003, but it contains links for Access 97 and 2000.
