[AccessD] A2K - Duplex Printing

Have not done this to set the values, but I have read the values.

Try something like this before creating the MDE or before sending out an MDB
(air code and no error checking):

Dim rpt As Report

	'const acPRDPSimplex as long=1
	'const acPRDPHorizontal as long=2
	'const acPRDPVertical as long=3

	;open report in design view and hidden
	DoCmd.OpenReport "NameOfYourReport", acViewDesign, , , acHidden

	Set rpt = Reports("NameOfYourReport")	
	
	'valid values for duplex are acPRDPSimplex,
acPRDPVertical,acPRDPHorizontal
	'normal is acPRDPSimplex.  In our app, reports that are landscape
and print
	'duplex use the acPRDPHorizontal constant.
	rpt.Printer.Duplex= acPRDPHorizontal 

	DoCmd.Close acReport, .Name, acSaveYes
	set rpt=nothing


Note that lots of times, I print duplex while testing and the duplex setting
sticks.  SO try that first.

Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks,
Bobby

After I had driven about 1.5 hours back toward home I thought about that,
Dan.  I sure wish I would have tried it.

I can have them do it.

So, assuming the printer is working, how is the best way to setup an Access
Report for this?  One long report or the same report with a page break in
it?
