Re: Access 2003, Question concerning Adobe Acrobat

I'd like to thank each of you for your reply. I was given permission
to buy the Adobe Acrobat Writer software, but before I do, I have a
couple of questions. We output reports from Access to one of our
network drives to which all employees have "read-only rights", then
create hyperlinks to the reports from our intranet website so the
employees can easily view them. Will you share with me the code to
print a report to the PDF printer using Printer Object? Also, how
would I output the report to our network drive? Currently, using a
macro, I'm given the opportunity to enter the full path of the report's
destination. Again, thanks!
