Hello, I use the command
Set Application.Printer = Application.Printers(pdfPrinter)
to switch from the default printer to the pdf printer but the pdf printer generates black and white pdf; when I use the pdf printer outside vba, the generated pdf are colored; so it bust be something with the code.
Any suggestions?

Hi,

   I know there is a .ColorMode setting for the Printer object. I am not sure how to apply it.

   Please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...oColorMode.asp for more info.

   In the VBA Language Reference, look up Microsoft Access Visual Basic Reference, Then Objects, then Printer Object.

I hope this helps.

I use "Printer.ColorMode = acPRCMColor" or acPRCMMonochorme
I hope it works for you :)

p.s. I use this command before printing the report

No, that's the problem...I tried but it won't work!
The only method is saving the printer properties in the report structure but it is not a good method because you have to do it every time you install the application (and we're upgrading it very often rigth now!) and on every machine!
I don't know why it doesn't work via code!
