Printing colour & black & white

L

Luke Bellamy

Hi - I have added a tick box in my reporting form to explicitly print
reports in black and white (default is colour). So I have code like this:

If ReportBlackAndWhite Then
rpt.Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMMonochrome
Else
rpt.Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMColor
End If

I am running Access 2002 and I do know that the logic is correct but even
though I
set rpt.Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMMonochrome it still prints in colour??
Of course rpt is the current report and I have this in the Report_Open
event.

Any ideas or alternatives would be appreciated?

Hi Luke

If you can't just set the ForeColor for all controls to Black and save the
report, could you use the Open event of the report to loop through the
Controls and set it to black?

Yeah that thought crossed my mind but I actually have a logo on the report
that is colour. Also setting the colour to black by iterating through the
controls
would be less effecient than if I can just set the Application.Printer
object to
print in black and white. Would be very nice if it just worked :(
