Hi there,
Does anyone know how to ckeck that a report as physicaly
been printed in Access.
All the Print events that I found in help (i.e ONPRINT)are
triggered before anything is send to the printer queue but
nothing to check that the job has been printed. (a return
code of some sort)
How do I check the print queue from my report ?
And in which event shall I code it ?
Or how do I check that the toolbar print button as been
clicked ?
Thanks
Dallag

Dallag:

There is no event that would allow you to determine if a report has actually
been printed. If you do a google search on this topic, in this newsgroup
you'll find some suggestions on ways to record a print job being queued to
the print spooler. Practically though, even if the report is sent to a
printer, there's no way to determine in the system that you received good
output at the printer (e.g. it may have run out of toner or jammed.)
