Specify Printer

[tarrickb]

Hello,

I have a database with a form that will be either printed or faxed
(directly from the pc via windows fax manager). I was just wondering if
it's possible to have 2 buttons on the form, one allowing to print from
the printer, and the other to "print" to the fax wizard (fax is listed
in my printer options).

So the buttons would have to have onClick events, with underlying code
telling them which printer to print to.
What code makes this possible???

Thanks.

what version of Access are you using? Access 2002 and later has a
Printers collection that you can manipulate.

previous to that, you have to use this:

Code for 2002/2003:
