I will post back again on this issue...I always like to leave google
with a complete record.

Okay, still need suggestions on this.

The deal is this: The user I deal with is the only one in his area who
uses the DB. This is actualy happening with several Access 97
databases as well. The DB will be fine for awhile, then the
preferences in Print Setup for a given report will randomly flip to
his printer. This is happening for users who do not even have his
printer set up on their machine...so I have no idea how *that* works.
He will find copies of the report printed by users in another building
on his printer days after they were printed.

I tried to duplicate the issue multiple times with separate users on
different machines with different printers. I was unable to get it to
display the wrong printer in Print Setup. However, I did notice that
if I went into the Print Setup dialog twice when displaying a given
report it would flip from Default Printer being selected to Specific
Printer being selected. Despiet this, it would always have the
correct printer for that user/machine selected, but why should this
setting be changing *at all* even if it is still specifying the
correct printer for that user/machine??? It seems to me that it
should be set to default printer no matter what.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I am really confused how users could
be printing reports to a printer that is not even set up on their
machine.
