I am trying to use the common dialog box, specifically the print control, to allow users to change printers before a report prints.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>What is the best way to accomplish this?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Is there any special code techniques I should be aware of?<br><br>My 10 minute foray into this subject yielded a negative result...<br><br>Any help would be appreciated...<br><br>
 
If you have a form then create a Command button using the wizard it will ask you questions about the report etc.<br>Then use the Preview report.<br>The default Printer is always the computers Default printer.<br>If you want the same report to print to the same printer even though its not that computers default. I have a step by step guide to do this.<br><br><br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
 
What I really need to do is set the printer in code at runtime.&nbsp;&nbsp;The printer is a network device and may change in the future.<br><br>Ron McCann
