Hi,
I am automating Access reports to PDF using PDF Writer 6.0. I've
created a DTS package to run the reports and schedule a job to run this
DTS package. If I PC Anywhere into the server on where the job is
running, the job runs sucessfully, PDF files got generated, everything
is good. If I scheduled the job to run at the time that I am not
logged into the server, Access is not able to print to the printer.
The error is pretty generic. It says Cannot print xxx.pdf to xxx
location, would you like to retry?. Is this a PDF Writer printing
permission problem? FYI, the account that I used to run the job is the
same as the account I used to log into the server.
Please help out. Let me know if more explaination is needed.
Thanks.

I actually have a similar annoyance: my one reports that needs to be on
legal-sized paper never "remembers" that it's legal sized. I always
have to set the printing preferences manually before printing. Yet
another report always wants to print to wrong printer on the other side
of the of the office, which is a shame because it's belongs in the
middle of a large set of reports.
However, since we now know that we can set the Default Printer
programmaticall y, a solution for both our problems would be as follows:
configure a second virtual PDF printer that prints Legal paper by
default (how to do this depends on the "Printing Preferences..." window
of your print driver). Then code your VBA so that our legal-sized
reports print to this printer:
net.SetDefault Printer "GS PDF Printer - Legal"
acc.DoCmd.OpenR eport "rptSales_TwoYe arHist" ' legal-paper
However, if you have 20 different reports, each of which is on its own
custom paper-size, things could get messy. On the other hand, if you're
really organized and keep all the report/printer/distribution
information in a local access table (as opposed to hard-coded in the
VBScript), you at least stand a chance of scaling to 100s of reports
and multiple virtual PDF printers.
Thank you cyranoVR.
I only have 2 reports that needed to be printed to legal sized paper.
Seems like Access remembers the report printing preferences while the
reports are printing from one server, however this changes when the
database is moved to another server. Since I only have 2 reports to
worrry about, I just manually set the printing preferences on the
reports and save it. It seems to be running ok.
Just want to say thank you. This is my first Google post, and It has
been a great one.

to have an easy way to handle various selection criteria, perhaps with
relatively stock reports. I see easy to use by...

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client.
Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either
for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd
like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the
products.
I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be
slower.
