Report linked to printer?!

[Question Boy]

Hello,

I created a few report in my db. However, when I place it on another
computer it generates a warning/error indicating a printer from the computer
on which the database was originally created. Why?, and more importantly,
how does one work around this issue?

Thank you

QB

By default reports are pointed at the "default printer" which will be the
default printer on each user's PC. You can however specify a printer in
page setup while in design view and then the report will always try to go
that printer. Sounds like you accidentally did this to your report. Just
change it back to "default printer" and save it.

Rick,

Thank you! I had never noticed that option before.
