mde Printing a report in colour or black and white.

[AnthonyGerrard]

My understanding is a report will print in whatever colour/greyscale setting was chosen when the report was saved irrespective of any properties set to the printer thereafter, including at the time of print.


So with printer A set to colour, the report will come out back and white if it was saved with print properties back and white. NO matter if subsequently I change the printer properties. Unless I resave the report.

This seems be be what I have read, and what I see when I test it.

But I have an mde - so I cannot resave the report can I?
So how can a user choose to print in colour or black and white for my report?

Another of Access' annoyances, hopefully it has a simple, but to me as yet unfindable solution.

Cheers.

I believe the only way is by changing their default printer settings.

I am confused. I have reports that produce charts in color. If I use a B&W printer the colors come out as a grayscale. If it is a color printer, it prints in color.

I am confused. I have a DVD that was recorded in colour. If I watch it on my B&W television is comes out greyscale. If I watch it on my Colour Television is shows in colour.

Do you see a similarity in this somewhere.
