Printing in colour

[Luke Bellamy]

Hi,
I'm having trouble with one of my reports printing in colour.
I'm explicitly calling Me.Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMColor
in events behind the report but to no avail. Is there anywhere
else I can check a setting about the print colour settings for a
report?

I'm using Acc2002 (hence the printer object) on a W2K machine.

Thankyou

Luke:

Go to File -> Page Set Up and on the Page tab, select your target color
printer. Then choose the Printer button and on the Print dialog choose
Properties and make sure that the printer is set to output color (probably
under the Advanced options). Then save your report. Then repeat going to
File -> Page Set Up -> Page tab and select the default printer and save
again. This will result in saving the color option in the report.

Note that printer object properties generally will not be correctly applied
if you set them at run time from an event within the report itself. To
apply the properties and have them "stay" with the report, you have to open
the report in design mode set the properties and save the report.
