RE: printer control in vba

Paul,

Essentially yes you can, however it will depend on whether your printer supports colour printing.

When I last did I wanted to print something from Access. The way I did this was to send the data to Word and using VBA and then use VBA printing/layout/format commands to create a nicely formatted printable page. When doing this, you can opt to use colours or just mono for the items you wish to print.
Hope this helps
David

 

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
