Need help printing forms in Black and White

[Allen Browne]

Ron it would surely be simpler to:
File | Save As | Report
than to set the BackColor of the sections of the form to vbWhite and loop
through all the controls to change their ForeColor, BackColor, BorderColor,
etc.

Ron,
Some printers have a choice of printing in color or graytone.
Check you printer properties.

If you must print a form, why not save it as a report.
Then change the colors to whatever shades of gray you want.

Better yet, just set the page setup to print Data only. It's on the Page
Setup Margins tab. Then change each command button's 'Display When' property
to 'Screen Only' to hide the buttons when printing.
