Why is it in there if it doesn't work?

edited September 2002 in General
When I try to set the PrinterName to 'Current' in the object inspector it
goes back to 'Default'. If I try to set it programmatically it still
doesn't pick up the printer settings. Am I doing or reading something
wrong?

Report Builder v 6.03
Below is a cut and past of the Help File topic

TppProducer.PrinterSetup

Declaration

property PrinterSetup: TppPrinterSetup;

Description

This property allows you to select the printer, paper size, orientation, and
paper bin which should be used when printing the report. When the report is
done printing, the printer is restored to its former settings.
If you want a report to use the current windows printer, set the PrinterName
property to 'Current'.

    We aren't supporting this feature. What happens is that the default printer
    is used instead of current when you set the PrinterSetup.PrinterName. This
    is how it is currently implemented. The help has been changed in RB 7 so
    that you won't be mislead on this topic in the future. Sorry for the
    confusion.
