Have A Report Output To PDF Followed By A Printer Output

[JCMcAbee]

Hello. Working in Access 2003. I have seen posts similar to this, but I think my question is a little different. My knowledge is VERY basic, so I hope I will explain this clearly.

I have a command button set to output a report to a printer. Now, I know how to force printing to a specific printer or PDF. What I desire to occur is this: When the 'Print Button' is clicked, the report should first output to printer THEN loop back and create the PDF. One for hardcopy, the other for archival purposes. I have looked at the built-in Macros but none of them appear to be able to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.
