Title:
Set print to ignored when printing a report
I've read the messages here and the microsoft knowledge base regarding the tag and tag2 field in the FRX file. It appears specific printer information is stored in these fields as well as the expr field. However, in my test it seems that the SET PRINT TO command is ignored whether theres data in these fileds or not. I issue a SET PRINT TO command before printing a report form and it always prints to the default printer. I've tried the following scenarios all to no avail;
- Saved the report form specifying an existing printer. Deleted the TAG TAG2 and EXPR fields. Issued the SET PRINT TO command selecting a non-default printer and printed the report.
- Saved the report form specifying an existing printer. Deleted the printer. Issued the SET PRINT TO command selecting a non-default printer and printed the report.
- Saved the report form specifying an existing printer. Deleted the printer,deleted the TAG TAG2 and EXPR fields. Issued the SET PRINT TO command selecting a non-default printer and printed the report.
All these scenerios produces the same result. The report was always printed to the default printer.
Any ideas?
Graciously yours,
