Hi Guys,

The problem I have is that I need to assign a printer to report at runtime (in the code), but I connot seem to find this anywhere (on this forum or in the manual). I am using delphi 5.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx ;)

    typically
    frxreport1.PrintOptions.Printer := 'Canon i350';
    the value is a string and must be the same as names shown in the system printers dialog.
    do it after loading a report and before alling show or prepare.

    Thanx !!!

    It works like a charm ;) Now, how do I print the report 1) Without it asking for a printer in the preview, and 2) Printing straight with no preview.

    Thanx for the help ;)

    set the various properties of the report component
    call prepare
    call print
    read about the functions and procedures of the report component in the programmer's manual.
