Output Bin

rbuser

Is there a way to set the output bin location of a printer? I've seen the
binnames[x] example but this is only for input locations. I need something
to redirect the output to different locations.

Thanks,
Ron

Tech Tip: Configuring Printer Specific Options
-------------------------------------------------

The Report.PrinterSetup properties can be used to set the properties that
are common to all printers. Internally RB applies these to the Windows
DevMode structure.


Report.PrinterSetup <----> Windows DevMode <-----> Printer Driver <--->
Printer


Printers often contains additional features, such as output bins, media
types, etc. The Windows DevMode structure can contain a private area that is
used the printer driver to store printer specific options. These can be
configured by using the Printer Driver's built-in properties dialog. These
options can theoritically be set programmatically, the trick is that you
have to know where in the structure to store the option and what values are
valid.

The following example shows how to display the printer properties dialog and
save the devmode for use within RB...

Nard,

I'm still a little confused on how I can save this additional information to
a file. Does ReportBuilder save this additional information when you save
the report as a template? Is there another way of storing the DevMode data
to a location and then when you print the report, store it back into
ReportBuilder?

Thanks,
Ron

RB only stores the Report.PrinterSetup properties. It does not store the
DevMode.

Therefore you would need to write code that saves the DevMode.

The example mentioned in the aticle contains code that shows how to apply
the DevMod to RB's printer.
