Preview, print or email without printer installed

S

Silvester

I distribute an A2000 app. End users can preview, print or email reports in
access snapshot format.

In stray cases end users do not have printers installed on their machine.
For emailing I use the line

DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, "Snapshot Format"

In such cases I get error 2202, no printer installed even if I try to email
the report ...

Is there any workaround to this like maybe install a phantom printer using
the app setup in such cases ?

Thanks for any help.

You can install the printer driver for any printer that you need even if the
printer is not connected to the computer.

This will make Access happy.

I do it all the time for printers that my clients have but I don't.

Good luck.
