I want to print a single record to a lable printer. Since the label printer is not the default I would like to change the to the label printer before I print the record. The flow of processes would be:
- Open the form
- Find the record
- Change to the label printer
- Print the label

I hope this makes sense.

Dear BillyL,
I believe that you should first create a Report using the data source that the form uses and then select the Label printer as the specific printer in the design view of that report.
Create a command button on the Form that has the condition in the On_Click code that ensures the report RecordId is the same as the Form's ID.

HTH Regards Jim
