[AccessD] Duplex printing question.

Bobby - Since all I gave was a smart-'aleck' answer, I'll try to do better.

I'm going to take a guess that you might need to resort to using API's to
change the print settings on the PC, which I presume could be done using an
MDE.  Once the printing is done, you can change back to what the settings
were to begin with.

But - I don't know where to direct you to get help with the correct API's.
Perhaps someone else on this list knows that.

Maybe John Colby . . . . . . ???

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
