PrintAccess Report ToA File

When I manually print a report from the File/Print menus I can direct the output to a file that is in the designated printer's format. In my case this is .pcl for a HP laser printer. How do I do this with VB or VBA? The send object command directs the file to Outlook and the "OutputTo" command does not allow for any ".prn" formats. How can I "print" an Access" report to a ".pcl" formattedfile using VB or VBA
 
Phil:

Access has no built in method to output a report to a file. It takes a
number of low level api calls to do so. If you are interested, we offer a
product called Print To File Manager for Access which will allow you to
output your report to a .prn file which contains the pcl commands that are
directed to the printer. You'll find it on our web.
