problems printing forms 1

[steveouthwaite]

Hi,
I am trying to send a form to a printer with the line
Me.PrintForm

this seems to work fine the first time the form is printed, but if I try to print again, the following error is returned:

"Run time error '486':
Can't Print form image to this type of printer"

stoping and starting the prog lets me print again, but this is obviously a bit naff

has anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Steve

Just a guess but use...
[tt]
Printer.EndDoc
[/tt]
after you print the form and see if it will allow you to print again.

Good Luck

Cheers - I'm new to VB and am slowly working my way through the documentation - I missed that method when I was looking for an answer. Thanks Again.
