Printer issues after design

[rchampine]

I have Access running on a Windows 2003 network. Developers create databases
and share them on the network. The problem I am currently having is that one
of my developers when creating a report the printing option defaults to her
default printer. When a users runs the report and trys to use the print
button from the toolbar it displays the developers default printer even
though they do not have access to that printer. If the users chooses the
File-Print option then only their allow printers show (which is what we
want), its just when they try to use the toolbar printer when it displays the
developers printer. Is there a setting in Access that can be changes so the
print option for reports is set to use system default and not the creator's
default settings at the time the report is created? I have found a option to
change this after the fact (in page setup of each report) but there is many
databases and many reports that will need to be manually changed. If we can
find a setting so that future reports that are created use the system default
that would be WONDERFUL!!
Any help would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Rita

Hopefully someone else can offer you more, however, I went through most of
the report screen and could not see anything that might identify the cause of
your problem.

The one thing I found is that in Tools > Options > Forms/Reports there is a
setting for Report Template. It could be that if she builds her reports from
a template, and that template had a specified printer, when it was created,
that it could have been carried over into her reports rather than allowing
Access to use the User's default printer.

Good luck.

At least one reply in another NG where you asked the same question.
