How do I create an Icon in a form to Print a report

ray

I am trying to create an icon so that when someone reachs the end of a
report page they can preview and print. Does anyone have any suggestions
aboutte best way to do this. I can crate the preview but I cannot get the
form to print even when I just try to print it using a DoCmd in VBA.

Can you just print from the preview of the report? If you need both a
preview and a print, open the report twice. Once with
"docmd.openreport, acviewpreview"; once with "docmd.openreport,
acviewnormal".

To create an "icon" on a form, just get a bitmap you like and put a
command button with its Transparent property set to Yes over it.

Hope this helps.
