Hey Guys, I have a really odd one that I keep beating my head on the wall
for. If anyone has any ideas or sees what I may be missing, your help would
be greatly appreciated.
The version of Access is 97 Runtime and it's running on and XP box. There is
a report in an application that for one reason or another keeps defaulting to
a network printer. The report itself is set to "default printer" in the set
up. The users that are having the problem have a local printer on LPT1 as
thier default. When they attempt to print it goes to a network printer,
despite them ensuring their local printer is selected. This would lead me to
believe it is the XP box, however all other access applications print fine,
so do other reports within this application. It's only the one report. I have
gone into the setup and selected a different default printer and then changed
it back to "default printer" and it still does it. I can't find anything in
code that tells me it is designed to go to a specific printer. When I open
the report on my machine at a remote location I get a message stating it
can't find the certain printer (again even though it's set to "default
printer").
I think that is all the information I have. I have been working on it a
while and just spinning my wheels. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free
to chime up. I thought about remaking the report itself, but it's pretty
indepth and really want to use that as a last option.
Thanks for your help.
