printer

on a button i need to be able to choose witch printer i need to print on. i have no idea the way to do it.
thank you in advanced

First, include the visual basic common dialog controls in your application (by pressing Ctrl-T). Place the common dialog control in your form. Now, include this code in your button's Command1_click() command.


Sub Command1_Click()
Commondialog1.ShowPrinter 'This brings up the print dialog box
'which will give you a selection of printers
'in your system.
End Sub



Hope that this helps...

Cheers...

Also you can select a printer programatically from your VB application. Check follow sample:

Private Sub ImageImprimante_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ImageImprimante_Click

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acrecordmenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Dim stDocName As String, Critere As Variant

Critere = Me![No_Appel]
stDocName = "E_NoAppel"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, [No_Appel], "[No_Appel] = " & Critere

'This is the line that opens the file menu printer
' to be able to choose the printer

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acFile, 6

Exit_ImageImprimante_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_ImageImprimante_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ImageImprimante_Click

End Sub
