[AccessD] PDFCreator with Access

Interesting!  I wonder if there is a VB.Net equivalent of that command for
controlling the printer because I often get the complaint from my users that
a print job containing a mix of color & black/white documents comes out as
all black/white.

Hi Stuart:

Thanks for the tip...I just ran into a mental block. I did finally solve the
problem by adding the following line after setting the PDFCreator object but
before running the print report command:

Application.Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMColor

...and that seems to solve the problem.

Thanks again
Jim

File, Page Setup, Page - Use a specific printer.  

In the selection box, select PDFCreator, click on Properties and select
Black and White.
