How to amend printer settings on Sage 200 reports

From within Sage 200 select Report Designer from the list of modules.

Report Designer will open separately from Sage 200, as it is a stand-alone application.

On the right of the page, from the list of folders, expand the default folder, then reports, and the module where the report is that you want to amend, in this example we will be looking at the Purchase reports.

You can then, find the report from the list and double click on it to open.

The properties pane should open on the right-hand side of the report.

Scroll down the Properties pane to locate the section Printing.

Change the Save Printer Settings from True to False by clicking on the drop down.

Save the report by selecting File, Save As. You will be taken to the custom\reports folder. Please ensure that you see the custom folder at the top of the Save As box. If you don’t you can click on the word reporting in the field highlighted below then select Custom > Reports.

Sage 200 will not allow you to save and overwrite the default reports.

You can then browse to the module folder (in this example it is Purchase) and double click.

You will need to remove the Copy of from the filename. If the file contains this, the report that already exists in Sage 200 will not be updated.

The file names in the Custom and Default folder need to be identical for the updates to take effect, without the need to add another report option to Sage.

And then click Save. The report will now use the Windows default printer for each user.
