This maybe a bit of a long shot but last year I downloaded via a link on the
forum a bit of access software that listed all my pronters in a list box and
then allowed me to select a printer from it and set it as default. Does
anyone know where I might have got this from? I have deleted it when I
didn't think I needed it but now it may just solve a problem I have.

Failing that how do I list my printers in a list box?

A Google goups search for "microsoft public access" select printer "list
box" turned up several results, including the following:

Watch out for wrapping in your newsreader.

You could try training users to press Ctrl + P, or maybe even not having a
Print button or command, but rather the instruction to use Ctrl + P.
However, it has been my experience that many users seem to have a very hard
time navigating by means other than clicking.

Thanks BruceM. That was what I wanted.

Glad to hear it helped. I'll probably be using the technique myself one of
these days.
