Does anyone know how to print a report to a specific printer, and even using
a specific tray. Using VB or even a macro.

re: Printing to a specific printer


Just to elaborate. In this case I don't want to specify a printer for the
report in design mode. It should use the default printer, unless it is
printed to a specific printer using VB or a macro

What version of Access? Newer version (A2002?) have a collection of
printers - Application.Printers I believe. Older versions can use the
code located at:

For printer tray selection check out this KB article:
