Prompt for Printer When Report Opens

[EddieN1]

How do I tell the Report to prompt for a printer instead of automatically going to the default printer?



Thanks, Eddie

Open the report in PrintPreview and code opens printer dialog.
Bing: Access report printer dialog

I found it... instead of using a Docmd.OpenReport... instead, use...

DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "rpt_Name", True ' True means open from Navigation pane

On Error GoTo ClickPrintCancel
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint

Exit Sub

ClickPrintCancel:

MsgBox "Print Request Cancelled", vbOKOnly, "Print Cancelled"

End Sub

Hope this helps someone... Eddie

Interesting, never used that. Probably because doesn't allow sending filter criteria to the report.

Glad you found solution and shared it.
