Re: Printer issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The suggestion you provided is what I have to do now. What I am looking for
is a global setting so the developer won't have to do the option you
suggested each time a report is created. Is there a global setting for this?
We have multiple developers and it is only attaching her default printer
when she creates reports. All other developers reports are using the system
default(which is what I want for her), therefore I thought there might be a
setting on her Access that was pulling her default printer.

BTW: Thanks for the tip to not post to multiple news groups, but because I
am new...how do I know I am posting in the right news group?

Thanks.
