Printing Access reports on another computer w/o Access
I have an Access system on a stand alone PC w/o a printer connected. What's
a good way to print an Access report using another computer that does not have Access. I considered using the Microsoft Imaging Printer Driver & use the MDI format as the intermediate format, but couldn't get it to work on the destination - ran out of time too. When I have a chance to try again, I thought I'd check on the MDI printer driver I read about somewhere. Any ideas? Maybe saving as an RTF? -- Propeller Head |

- Print or export the report to pdf format (use stephen lebans utility if
using Access2003 and earlier) - get the pdf file to the computer with the printer - open the pdf in adobe acrobat reader - print the report RTF is usually not that great.

Printing Access reports on another computer w/o Access
Can we assume everyone has the Adobe Acrobat reader?
I'm not certain the destination PC does & it is on a very secure state network where I don't have the option to download & install whatever I'd like. Maybe the Adobe Acrobat Reader is built into IE now? -- Propeller Head "Mark Andrews" wrote: - Print or export the report to pdf format (use stephen lebans utility if using Access2003 and earlier) - get the pdf file to the computer with the printer - open the pdf in adobe acrobat reader - print the report RTF is usually not that great.
