Converted Database properties

[Eric Piquette]

Hi,

I've converted an old Access 2.0 database to the 2002 (XP) format. It
contains several reports. The problem I have is when trying to print some of
them. A few are re-directed to an old printer on a network. The print dialog
box shows the correct printer (default windows printer), however the
"ToolTip" text shows the name of the wrong printer when I drag the mouse
over those reports. I've looked at the properties page and in the code for
all the forms, and found no reference to a printer name, path or even an IP
adress. How was that printer assigned to those reports ? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.


Thank you,

Eric P.

If I understand what you are saying do the following.
1. Open the report in design.
2. In the menu go to File / Page Setup.
3. Change the printer selection to Default.
4. Close the page setup window
5. Save the report.

I you want a report to go to a printer other than the default printer,
you set this in design view
in page setup then save the report. Each time the reports runs it will
go to the printer you specified.
Which, if you think about it, that's what it is doing when the printer
is set to default. It is going to
the printer specified.
