Hello eveybody,

I'd like to know how to send line by line a report to the printer and
how to control(Select one, set up) the printer. I don't want to use a
file temporaly. I'm using Access 2002.
Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, you can't control the transmission of an Access report to
the printer.

You may be able to accomplish what you want to do with the Printer object,
using the .Print method. Check Help, or check the Knowledge Base at

Back in the old days one (DOS) one could open up com/lpt ports directly
and send output to the printer. The I/O statements don't appear to have
that capability any more.
