[AccessD] [SPAM SUSPECT] Re: Default printer for a report... (cross posted to Access-L)

Hi Charlotte,

Thanks for looking at my post.

No, I have not tried anything in code yet.  I was fishing to see if it was a
common issue and if there were any suggested solutions.

Thanks,
Bobby

PDF printers do seem to grab and hold the default like that.  Have you
tried code that sets the printer back to the original value?

Hey,

I have noticed that when a printer is designed and set to use the
default printer, that if it is printed to the PDF printer, it will then
be set to use the PDF printer instead of the default printer.  Even
though the report is not edited and does not ask to save any changes.

I just got an email from one of our clients this morning asking about
this happening from an MDE.  

What is the cause of this and is there anyway to prevent it from
permanently modifying the default printer?

Thanks,
Bobby
