Print dialog using OpenReport.... acNormal?

ARC
Hello all,

Using the following command, is there any way to get the printer dialog to
open? I most packages, when you click print, it will open the printer
dialog, however Access sends the report without the dialog. I was hoping
there would be another option, other than acNormal, but there doesn't appear
to be:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t Forms!frmOpt.Fo rm!RunName.Capt ion, acViewNormal

Thanks!

Andy

Replacing acViewNormal with acViewPreview will open the report in preview
mode which will allow you to open the print dialog box and print the report.

You meant to say: in other packages I don't have the convenience of
printing straight to the default printer. And in Access I can still
get the print dialog: just preview the report and have the user choose
File Print. :-)

Well, the user's are a bit funny, they don't want to preview first! :(

Yet getting the print dialog is still a feature they want.

(Sorry if I have repeated this, it did not appear the first time) I have the following code on a button. The idea is that when this button is clicked it prints several reports automatically then loops through several other reports and prints them. These reports are not sent to a printer but sent to a program called Fine Print PDF Factory which turns them into a PDF file (set as the default printer) This all works perfectly unless any...

Hey Gang! I am at work, will attempt to make it brief:-) Looks like I am unable to print subform data results. When the subform loads with the results I want, say from 9,000 records, I get 100 + out of that. I can't seem to print just the results or preview in a report. I know I've missed something. Searched here did not find anything, please point me to it! Here's a modifcation of the code:

On my form I have combo boxes. These combo boxes, after updating them, populate respective listboxes that are located below the combo boxes on the same form.
