So what does happen when you view a report in duplex?  Do you have to go
around behind your monitor to see the other side?

Subject: [AccessD] Duplex printing question.


I looked in the archives and Google, but did not find what I was looking
for.

In designing and testing of reports, I will click on file/print to print the
report.  To save paper, I generally will go to options (on the print dialog)
and tell it to print double-sided.  Many times, this value will stick on the
report.  If I do not remember later to go and change this back to
non-duplex, it prints that way by default.

In researching this, I saw some things that allowed you to change various
printer values, but the implication was that these changes were actually
changing the values in the design of the report.  We distribute MDEs for our
application.

Is there some method that can be used in an MDE that will, upon opening the
report, change the report to print in simplex (I think that's the right
word) mode?  The user would be free to change that in their options when
they go to print.  I just want to make sure that duplex is off when
previewing it or printing it directly.

Thanks,
Bobby
