Hello All

How do you access the code or functionality behind the print button on reports? I know if you set the report to processing only, the button disappears but I need to automatically send the print to another printer that is part of a third party software package.

i.e. I want to disable the usual printing dialog box that appears and automatically send the print to anther printer, defined programatically.

But the print button never appears in design.

Ideas?

Thanks

    i've done this before the following way:
    i made a report and set the property ProcessingOnly to true.
    i also set the UseRequestForm property to false so on running the report, nothing will happen except that he immediately starts "printing".
    my problem was the fact that i needed to access a matrix printer and so i created a file variable and opened the file "\\SERVERNAME\PRINTER" as a texfile and wrote my data intoit. worked fine. hope it helped a bit.
    The freaks come out at night.
