I am writing a piece of code that will let me use the windows standard print Dialogue box but I can't find how to do so.(In Access)

And

I was trying to make my own using 2 tab page one with print formats on, using option boxes and one with the number of copies. I can get the Print Formatting page working but I can figure out how to get it to print more than one copy.


 
First not sure the justification on creating your own print dialog, for formatting and so on. Those formatting dialogs are usually created specifically for an installed printer.

To answer the first question:
1. The "DoCmd.PrintOut" will simply send the information to the printer.
2. The "Docmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint" should open the print dialog. Allowing the user to select the printer and the print settings.
