Printing a Ms Access Report as a Postscript File
I want to be able to use VBA to print automatically Ms Access Report as Postscript Files, by giving the path and file name.
I tried the OutputTo function but there is no PS format.
Can anyone help me and tell me how to do it in Access
I have Microsoft Office XP SP-2, Acrobat Distiller 5.0.
Thank you

Hi ChefGroleau,
Download from the following link
www.almosawe.ae/jaffer/pdf-Report.zip
Read 2-PdfModules-Readme.txt to install,
part of the mdb ( the frmDemo) will print to PS,
I hope this helps.

Hi I'll raise the points to 1000 pts for the answer.
The problem I have is that I cannot install other applications ( ex Ghostscript, MakePDf etc.) on the users PC because of the limited rights assigned to all the users in the company. My Ms Access application will be distributed to about 20 persons, so I don't want to do some specific settings on all of them.
The only things I can use is Microsoft Office XP, Adobe Acrobat 5.0, Acrobat Distiller 5.0 and all of their APIs.
Their must be a way to output a PS with that. In Excel it's possible by doing this :
MySheet.Range("myRange").P
ActivePrinter:="Acrobat Distiller", printtofile:=True, _
collate:=True, prtofilename:=PSFileName
But I need to do it for a Ms Access Report.
Thank you
