Default Printer for Reports 1

I am TOTALLY confused!

We had a database that had to be restructured due to new management requirements, both in the data stored and the reports requested.

I thought I would save some time and work, so...
(1) I copied the entire thing to an new area on the network,
(2) made the modifications
(3) shutdown the original backends
(4) copied the data to the newly structured tables and files.
(5) tested all the reports and forms to my local printer.

Everything worked great..........until I release the beast to the office. Now some - not all - of the reports print to the printer here in this office and not to the users default printer. Most of these reports are modifications of the original report, and worked well.

I am not forcing the report to this printer (I don't know how), and can find no reason for this to happen.

Can someone give me some help/guidance?

Thank you, and Happy Holidays.

Once you sent the report to YOUR printer then closed and saved it, you changed the default printer setting to specific.

You will need to go into the design view of each report, select page setup from the File drop menu. Go to the tab that says page and select default printer. Click OK and be sure to save the report. Then have someone on the network to print one as a test.

Hope this helps ya!!!

In the time I have been doing this, I never realized that 'feature' was there. You saved me a hugh headache! I even came in here on Saturday just to try this.

A Star for you!
