Problem with printer setting
I am trying to give my users complete control of printer
selection and settings paper source, paper size, orientation, duplex printing) for forms and reports of my Access 2000 MDE database. I have reasearched into DEVMODE and DEVNAMES but I understand they must be used in design view and can't be used in an MDE file. I found "On the Fly Pinting" (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/attac- cg/acgsoft.htm) but it does not support printer settings for MDE files. I found the following link: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/attac- cg/acgsoft.htm which shows code for changing the printer but not the settings. I am planning to link an MDB file located on each computer's local drive to the main MDE file so the user can specify the printer and settings he wants on that machine. When each report is printed, the table in the MDB file is looked up and the printer is selected and settings set. Or the user can click another button if he wants to change the printer or settings for one printing. Any suggestions are requested. |
