bcooney Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I would like to have Page X of Y in my report's footer, and but let my user see a Print Dialog. However, if the user switches printers, the page Y is sometimes no longer accurate, as the change in driver causes a reflow of the text and of course Y is already populated.* Apparently, the "current" printer is the last to which the user actually printed. And so, I have a dilemma. Any ideas? Thanks, Barbara *I use the go to preview, go to last page, set the gPageNo technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansmith65 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If you use fixed page margins that are large enough to be printed on any printer, then as long as you are not changing paper size in the printer setup dialog, your page numbers should be correct. If you do need to be able to change paper size, can you do a print setup allowing the user to select their print options, then calculate page numbers, then print without dialog? I'm not so sure this will work - it's just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Fixed page margins, hmm. Not sure we've done that, lol. The print setup then print w/o dialog doesn't help, because he wants to change the destination printer. That is only possible in the print dialog.
