[AccessD] Don't save report printer settings

Gustav,

The printer settings are properties of the report.  If you allow the
user to make changes to the printer settings, they are making changes to
the report.  Thus, Access is going to ask if the user wants to save
those changes to the report.  You need to train your user to know if he
makes any changes he must then indicate whether those changes are to be
saved for the next time or discarded as one time only changes.

Hi Andy

Yes, but that wouldn't help if the user simply closes the preview
window. My thought was to set warnings off but neither that doesn't help
as the default for the messagebox is Yes to save the changes.

Other ideas?
