Default Stapling Reports

Hi,

Does anybody have any experience on how to get an Access report to
staple the pages in a group together? Is there an API in the printer
driver?


Regards

Bjørn

A bit printer-specific, no? Most printers don't even do stapling.

As Baz points out, stapling is a function of the printer. You might try
contacting the printer manufacturer to see if they provide an API.

Default Stapling Reports

As far as my experience goes, all the printers that do stapling will only
staple the entire print job together. If you are doing multiple collated
copies of the same document then it will staple each copy. I know of no way
to staple sections of a document (report) together.

The only method I can think of that should work would be to print each group
as a separate report. You could probably use a VBA procedure to generate
each group as a separate report and loop through the report once for each
group.
