restore default printer

S

I have vb code that gives a user the option to select the printer for
printing a report in access. At the end I change the default printer
back to what
it was. Unfortunately the code I found is for win9x so it is not
working when restoring the default, and I cannot find anything on what
the XP code is.

Win9x code is: Call SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0,
ByVal "windows")

Does anyone know what it is for XP?
