I have created a program whwreby a user can print a number of reports.
The program runs on a network and so there are different printers fo
different users. Therefore, before prinitng a form, the user wants th
option of being able to select the printer on which he/she would lik
to print on. I would like to pull up the printer dialogue windo
whereby a user can select to which printer he/she would like to prin
the report in question. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this

You can change the default printer using updates to the INI file and
some sample code.
See DefaultPRT.ZIP at http://www.mcwtech.com/downloads.htm

Finally you can use DevPrtMode however this requires extensive VBA
knowledge and is not for the faint of heart. Also this won't work in
MDEs as you must open reports in design mode although you can use
Automation to open a reports MDB and manipulate it there.
