Is there a way I can position a msgbox at certain location in the print preview mode of a report so that the user is able to see the whole report then he/she can select a command on the msgbox to proceed?

Basically, I'd like to create a msgbox that would allow the user to either go back to a form when Cancel is pushed or proceed with print if OK is pushed. However, I need to have the msgbox out of the way so the report can be read.

Thanks for any help I can get.

You could also create a custom toolbar in access. it's quite easy and you can place any options you choose in the toolbar. I created a toolbar that shows up each time a report is open with options to print, transfer to word, and close a report. In the OnClose event of the report, I placed code to open up the form that lists the reports.

Failing that, you could create a form to open up with the report. The form should be set up popup, so they can reposition the form, but still see it. The form could look like a msgbox and have the options you request.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks. That is a great idea. Your recommendation will work well with my generic reports that have the same commands. Do you have other solutions for specific commands that are tied to specific reports?
