I have a report that is automatically generated from a Form.

It is a mandatory report, and I do not want the user to be able to cancel,
or interfere with the printing in any way.

I have tried using the 'Setwarnings' method by:
'Setwarnings WarningsOn = No' ( not at all sure about this coding) in both
my Command code, and in the 'On Open' Properties of the subject Report.

All to no avail.

Repeat I do nort want the User to inferere with the printing.

Appreciate any help.

"All to no avail" doesn't tell us what you are experiencing? Is the user
being prompted for something? We have trouble experiencing exactly what you
are experiencing so you have to tell us.
 
Just proves once again to me - that I do not know what I'm talking about.
After your and Duane Hookam's replies - I realise that it is my printer's
preferences that is giving me the problem.
Before printing, it comes up with a screen, showing the 'Print status', the
amount of ink still available in the printer, and two options - "Cancel" or
"Close Window" .

It is this "Cancel" that I'm trying to eliminate. I want to preclude the
User from stopping the print.

Is there some way that Access Basic can side step the Printer's prferences.
 
Duane - please see my reply to Tom Wickerath.

Yes - the Printer prompts the user, and gives the User the option to Cancel
the print - which in my system (driven by legal considerations), is
unacceptable.

Can you see any way for Access Basic to side step the preferences of the
printers.

I am using OnClick code ' DoCmd.Open report " (report name), , acNormal '
to generate the printing of the report.

Thanks for your interest.

I believe there are some small utility programs that "click" dialog boxes. I
think one might be named something like "click-yes".
