Change Printer in ER

[Elger]

Hi
We are running 8.10 with tools rel 8.94. Intel SQL2000 SP4

Does anyone know if its possible to change a printer in a reports ER.

When writing an AP Payment a driver report fires of a 2nd report. The report name and version of the 2nd report is determined by entries in a table. I need to send the 2nd report to a different printer based on user but it appears that the printer for report 2 is inherited from that of report 1 and entries via the P98616 (Default printers) for report 2 are ignored.

Thanks in anticipation...alan

Alan,

For a slightly different approach, please check out our AUTOPRINT software solution...

Use the report level event "Do Initialize Printer" and call the system function of the same name to set the printer. You can write ER / C to access the info in your table if it isn't sent in via RI, before you call it.

Cheers!

Hi, I can only find a system function called 'Initialise Logical Printer name' and it wants another parameter called 'Return Code', could this be the one and if so any ideas what the return code is. Many thanks
