Printing.....

[Kevin]

Hi All

I would like to know how I can set the printing properties
in Access, i.e. the orientation(landscape/portrait),
margins,paper size etc. Because everytime I install my
access runtime on a new machine and I try to preview my
reports, it keeps defaulting the printing properties to
portrait and big margins, when instead I should have small
margins and landscape etc. What else can I do to have
these settings persist across any PC that I install my
database on?

TIA

Kevin

I am not sure what version of Access you are using, but you can use code to
set these properties. Please review the articles below for the version of
Access that you are using:
