Select Printers Programmatically

[Guest]

Hi, using Access 2003.

Does using the application.printer properties/methods work ok when run in
..mde mode?

Many thanks

Sure.

Here's a downloadable example:
Printer Selection Utility
at:

The example also illustrates how to create a custom property on the report,
so the user can have it remember to use a particular printer again next time
for that report.

This all works in an MDE and runtime, and without you needing to know at
design time what printers the user will have.
