REPORT PRINTS TO PRINTER OTHER THAN DEFAULT

[Yayahim]

Access 2000, ODBC connection to SQL based application
External report written by I.T.
I have a report that when the printer icon is selected, the report prints to a printer in I.T. rather than to my default printer. The I.T. printer is not even defined in my profile.

However, if I select the printer via menu File->Print, my default printer is displayed and it will print there.

Can a default printer be defined for a report? perhaps this was done inadvertantly, but no one knows how to change it.

TIA

Go into the design view for the report, select the page setup from the file
menu. click on the "page" tab. Click the "default printer" radio button.

Yes, look in Page Setup for the report.
