Default report name

I have an Access (2000) database with reports.
I am printing these reports from VB with the line ".DoCmd.OpenReport
rptName".
Two of these reports are the same report in a different format.
I am sending these reports to PDF files through a PDF printer using PDF995.
The output file name is setting to the report name.
Can I tell Access to give these two reports the same file name?

Default report name

If you mean have two report objects with the same name, then No.

Yes basically that's what I need. The objects themselves can have different
names, but when I send them to a printer, it's using report name for job
name and the PDF printer is using that job name for output file name. I
can't have 2 reports with 2 different names assigning the same job name? As
far as I can tell that output name is forcing to only equal the report name
(and apparently the report names must be unique).
