I need to be able to pick an available printer to pass to the report via the DESNAME parameter. The application requires much repetitive printing requests to many different printers and I don't want to slow the user down by popping up the runtime parameter form each time the report is chosen.
Since batch mode doesn't pop up any window allowing me to choose the printer, how do I get the list of of available printers defined on the pc I'm running the report on so I can pass this info?
Thanks.
