Jay,

There is a file in the downloads here called VBPrinter which will help you do exactly what you want. It allows you to set things like printer trays, etc programatically. You can present the user with your own printer dialog, so you can save the settings from session to session and then call VBPrinter to change what needs changed.

This works fine if all the users are happy to use their own printer defaults. However, a user now wants to use different Paper Sources for each of his reports and does not want to have to go into page setup (sys(1037) or PRINTER PROMPT) each time he runs the report. How can I have a user do this once, store the information and load it back in every time the report is run?
