Printer control in vba

can we use vba to tell printer to use colour?

RE: printer control in vba

Paul,

Essentially yes you can, however it will depend on whether your printer supports colour printing.

When I last did I wanted to print something from Access. The way I did this was to send the data to Word and using VBA and then use VBA printing/layout/format commands to create a nicely formatted printable page. When doing this, you can opt to use colours or just mono for the items you wish to print.
Hope this helps
David

Excel tip:

Select only cell that contain text to lock format

For selecting cells that only contain Text in Excel

By selecting cells that only contain text, you can delete, fill or protect cells of this type.

Use short cut to Go to box (F5) or Edit, Go to
In the dialog box, click special button & select Constants and only check text or any other desired type.

Click OK.

And text cells will all be highlighted for you to apply format. Please note only works on one sheet at a time.
