    printer default to pdf


    I printed a report on PDF creator once. Now, everytime I go to print the report, it defaults to PDF. I have a command button to do so. So, I deleted the button, printed the report on regular printer. Then, added back a button to open and print the report. But, it goes back to PDF! The command button will not send to my printer.
    I checked my computer's default printer, and it is my regular printer.
    This is not a huge deal for me, but other users won't be happy! I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    Every Report in Access could have a different printer. Open the Report in design or report view and then go to File/Print and select the printer you want. then save the report again. It should remember the selection.
