I am trying to keep track of the reports that are being printed out by the different users of the application. I want to see who printed out the report, which report was printed, how many copies, and when.
Can someone provide an idea and/or resource information for that problem?
Thank you in advance!

This is nearly impossible to do based on Access' basic design. The only
possible method is to create your own print command buttons everywhere and
anywhere a report can be printed, including creating your own custom
toolbars and menus to display when a report is previewed, that calls your
own custom print function. In that custom print function, you can use api
calls to get the current user logged on to a computer to capture the name
(see the sysinfo download in the free files area of our web), writing it to
a log, however without creating your own print dialog calls, there's no way
to capture the number of copies printed.
