Steps for Printing

[NotGood@All]

I would like to use a macro to print a PDF report to a specific directory
without any windows opening. When I tell it to print the "Print" window
opens and the printer is the "Adobe PDF", that's correct, I now have to click
OK, then it ask where I want to save it. I want this report to go to the
same place all the time. How do I turn off the "Print" window and the "Save
As" window while telling it exactly where to save it??

Thank You

Not Good,

What are the actions you are using in your macro at present? "When I tell
it to print" doesn't really tell us much.

Steve, thank you. I'm using 2 commands, openreport, printout. The printout
opens the 'Print Window', everything is correct so I click 'Ok'. What I
would like to do is eliminate the 'Print Window' window and tell it where to
save the report without asking if I want to overwrite the previous report of
the same name.

Not Good,

It sounds like you have the View argument of the OpenReport action set to
'Print Preview' instead of 'Print'. Is that right?

I would not normally expect to use the PrintOut action in a circumstance
like this. Just the OpenReport action set to Print should be enough.

From that point, it is not related to Access. The functionality is
determined by your print driver, in this case 'Adobe PDF'. I am not
familiar with Adobe PDF. I have used PDF995 quite a lot, and it provides
options for setting the default file location and file name. Maybe Adobe
PDF does too.
