Is it possible at runtime to override the email address set in a PDFDirect batch printer. I am accumulating several Access reports using a PDFCombo batch printer, and when the last is printed, I am loading another batch printer (PDFemail) that emails the PDF to the main office. More than one user uses the computer, and I can tie the email to the user logged in. I was thinking of some override on a property like:
pdfEmail.emailaddress="new.abc.com"
I didn't see anything addressing that in the vba download.
Thanks,
David Parham
I know I can do this by making a separate PDFemail batch printer for each user and setting it to that printer at run time, but I was hoping for a simpler fix.
If this is possible, how about overriding the email text?

Hi,
You have a couple of options. One is to change the batch printer settings files (a simple ini text file) located here:
WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\PDF reDirect\Batch_Printers
Win 7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PDF reDirect\Batch_Printers
Your second option is to use my ActiveX control to change the batch printer settings in-between jobs. You can get the ActiveX control from [ http://www.exp-systems.com/forum_exp/forum_posts.asp?TID=254 - here ].
I hope that helps!

I appreciate the help. Do you have further information as to how to use the activex options? The information inside of the Access program for VBA is limited, and I don't have VB6 loaded on my laptop anymore so I can't view the information in the vb6 code.

Hi,
For the VB6 code, you can open the files in Notepad, and then copy/paste into Outlook VBA. My guess is that it should be 80% compatible, with small tweaks for the rest.
Effectively, once you have the reference set in Outlook VBA to my ActiveX component, most of the commands can be viewed via the auto-complete feature. The Access sample (or the Excel/Word ones) are all quite similar, and the code is documented, demonstrating all of the features.
Hopefully, I am making sense. When I have some time, I might create a demo for Outlook, as I can see how that could be useful to many people.
Cheers!
