Hi


I'm trying to print an Access Report using a 'pcl' driver (like an HP Laser
4000) and send it to a file on the hard drive. However, the file name has
got to be handled through Access and then when the print jobs are finished,
turn off the drivers redirection to a file.

wont prtDevNames give me the ability to changes the port?

how can I manage the output file name?

General Program Flow (Concept)
----------------------------------
print a the same report for hundreds of customer

each time the report has data for a customer the report goes to a file on
the hard drive in pcl

execute a faxing program that will use the pcl which send it off to our unix
server to process and fax

remove the temp file

loop back to the top and do it again until all customer have their report
