I have several reports that I originally created to print with a alternate
PDF program. I have since removed that program and upgraded to Adobe
Acrobat. Now every time I want to print these reports I get the following
error message:

"This document was previously formatted for the printer PDF995 on
PDF995PORT, but that printer isn't available. Do you want to use the default
printer hp LaserJet 1012?"

I've looked at the properties of these reports and cannot find anything that
ties the report to the previous PDF program or any particular printer for
that matter. How can I change this to become the system default printer as I
have the same problem when I distribute this front-end to other users who
didn't have this program either? Any help or direction provided on this
issue would be greatly appreciated.

Open the report in design-view. Go to Page Setup. Click the "Page" tab.
Look at the bottom where it says to print it to a specific printer and make
the needed correction. Then save the report design.

Rick,

Thanks for the quick reply and great information. I don't know why I didn't
think of that, but it did the trick. Thanks again.
