I need to print a report to file.  My goal is to copy this file to 
multiple printers via the File System Object.  The copy of the file part 
is working great.  But I've hit the wall trying to get these reports to 
print to a file via VBA code. 

Any Ideas.

What kind of file are you planning to print to? Is it a txt, rtf, snp? In 
any case check out help on OutputTo or SendObject for code to create these 
types of files and store them or send them via email. Let me know if you 
need more help.

I would like the postscript output that can be generated thru the print 
dialog box by clicking the "Print to File" check box.

I don't know much about postscript output. I tried printing to a file from 
access and was unable to find an application that would open the report in 
the format that Access defaults to (which I am assuming is your postscript 
format). Sorry, maybe someone else has more experience with this default 
file format out of Access 2000.

Thanks for taking a look.  

FYI, the postscript output is the same image that is seen in preview/print 
mode of the report.  The reason I'm trying to print to the file via VBA is 
so that VBA code can copy (broadcast printing) this file to multiple 
printers without the user having to print multiple times to multiple 
warehouse/factory printers.
