I think I used the printersetup dialog box in a project to allow users to
change the printer. I had a command button on the form that ran code like
this

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show

Then I put the activeprinter.name into a label that was on my form so users
knew what the active printer was. The code to print the worksheets was
attached to another command button.

Hope this helps.

Great idea, very clever...that will work for the onsite folks. The problem
is that we are going to be sending to offsite people and I have no idea what
their printers are. :-(

maybe this will help, say there was a choice of 2 printers, and you have
a check box to select which printer to print from


Code:
--------------------

'deterime which printer to print from
If Range("A1") = true then myprinterselect = "\\BTBEAPAPP04\PBTBEA001M"
If Range("A2") = true then myprinterselect = "\\BTBEAPAPP04\PBTBEA002M"


Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
wrd.ActivePrinter = my printer select


--------------------


works for me anyway, good luck :)
