Good morning all,
I have checked this group and other groups for assistance on what I
want to do and so far I have not found exactly what I am looking for.
I have created a form that allows for label templates to be loaded to
a single report on the fly. To accomplish this, the user opens the
label creation form, which directs the user to open rptLabels in
design view; all settings for margins, column count row count etc are
loaded into the report, then the report is saved. The form the allows
the user to save these settings to a table. This saves the report's
PrtMip structure to a table with all required PrtMip fields present
(plus a few extras that I wanted). Everything so far works excellent.
Now, I need the option to save printer information into each label
template's record. I need to be able to do two things:
1) Save the immediate information in the printer setup dialog box,
including the printer name, driver and port (easy enough since I am
using Access 2002 and I can use the printer object)
2) if the "properties" button is pushed (i.e. custom printer
settings), I want to be able save this information into a memo field
that I can parse on the fly. <-- This is the spot where I am totally
clueless on what to do
How do I access the members of those custom printer setup pages? And
if the paper size is changed from one of the standard page sizes
through these customer pages, will it override the value in PrtMip?
Thanks in advance for the help
