You can control Access 2.0 using DDE, and I think there's an example at
msdn.microsoft.com, but if VB3 has trouble using a certain printer driver,
Access 2.0 might have trouble with it also. Do you have all the patches
from ftp.microsoft.com, such as:
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/vbrun300.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/mscomm.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/vbgrid.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/comlyr.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/vbdb300.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/accsvc.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/setupk.exe>
These you should need only if you're still running on Windows 3.x:
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/ww1000.exe>
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/ww1116.exe>
