Good Friday All: I have a form that is nearly 2 pages in
length. How can I programatically force it to print double
sided. We all use the same network printer. Thanks!
 
Jason,
I read your post earlier today, but hesitated to respond... printers are
not my forte... but since you still haven't received a reply, I'll offer my
2 cents...

I think you may have to create a printer definition/profile for your
printer (in duplex).
In your Windows printer defs you could have...
OfficeHP-Duplex
OfficeHP-Single
You would select the OfficeHP-Duplex as the Default printer for the
report.
Now, you should be able to set up the printer at via the Print Dialog box
"Printer Setup/Properties" button. This connects you, via your printer
driver software, to the features (like duplex) for your "specific" printer.
(your printer knows what "duplex" is... Access doesn't)
So, I'd try to set up a "duplex" printer setup in windows and always use
that "defualt" when printing the report.
If that doesn't cut it... try using Printer Setup/Properties while in
Access to get a duplex setup to work.
