AC2007 - Report 'Close Print Preview' button not working

13 New Member
I've developed a product pricing application for a client in AC2007.

They enter all the data on the one main form, then click a button to open a printable report in Print Preview.

My problem is, once in Print Preview, the Close Print Preview button on the ribbon doesn't work. It's there, it just does nothing when I click it. To close the report you have to press Ctrl+F4.

This is bad, but worse is I can't even put a message on the report telling the user to press Ctrl+F4, as they view it in Print Preview mode, so I can't have a label with Display When set to Screen Only, as they don't see that in Print Preview.

It's a very standard report, quite a few fields but no calculations involved, it gets all its data straight from a precalculated table. There's nothing I can think of that would be causing strange behaviour. I've got another report in the system, and that closes fine.

I get the same behaviour whether it's an accdb or accde.

Any ideas where I might start finding out what's causing this?

All I can suggest is to try to find somewhere that lists known bugs (features) of the new Acc2007 software.

Some MVPs publish lists as a feature on their sites. I'm afraid I can't think of anything more helpful.

Problem solved by copying everything to a new report. The usual answer to Access' flakiness!

Oh that one!

I should do an article on "How to Avoid Corruption with MS Access". A fairly short one - "Don't use it." :D

I'm totally stuck. When I click on the "Preview" button for a report on the database window, pressing the <ESCAPEkey simply closes the report. But when I use DoCmd.OpenReport with acPreview on a form, pressing the <ESCAPEkey dumps the report into design mode. To add one more quirk, creating a new form, and using the wizard to create a Print Preview command button sets the report behavior back to normal, by closing the report clean on...

Hello, I am developing a VB.NET 2003 application that will use lots of Crystal Reports. Sometimes the users will preview a report in a Crystal report viewer, and sometimes they will send the report directly to the printer bypassing the Crystal report viewer altogether.

I've been having a click around Access 2007 this afternoon and have discovered some things that range from annoying to alarming. My Access 2003 menu bars, which I, like many others, use extensively, are now hidden behind an "Add Ins" tab on the Ribbon. Hardly an intuitive place for a user to find them. Unless my memory is failing me, I'm sure that Access 2003 menus displayed normally in the 2007 Beta. The other thing I've discovered...

I am stuck. I have a report that I use in multiple places, so I call it with varying parameters (using the Where Clause in the code). I preview the report, send it to snap, then close the preview (the user can go to the server to see the snap view). Print, snap, then close is the only way I can snap with a Where clause. If there is No data that meets the criteria, I can cancel the print,
