report with print dailog

[iccsi]

I wanted to have my report direct to printer and give user a printer
dialog to let user selcect printer to print.

Are there any controls available to use?

Your help is great appreciated,

Hi,

You could use this subroutine, placed in a regular (not class, not
report, not form) module:

Public Sub PrintAReportShowingPrintDialog(ByVal strReportName As String)

On Error GoTo Handle_Error

DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint

Exit_Sub:
On Error Resume Next

DoCmd.Close acReport, strReportName, acSaveNo

Exit Sub

Handle_Error:
If Err.Number <> 2501 Then
' 2501 occurs when user cancels the print dialog box
MsgBox "Error #" & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_Sub

End Sub

Then when you want to print, simply use:

PrintAReportShowingPrintDialog "rptMyReportName"

You may need to add more error numbers to check if any reports prompt
for parameters, for when the user cancels the parameter prompt dialog.

Hope that helps,
