    Problems with Hide/Show DbWindow

    Forms are not designed to work like reports and they are not designed to print. If you want to print (open) a report just do it printing is not a screen thing anyway. If you want to view (preview) use snapshot viewer. I have provided a way plus you can also put a snapshot viewer object on a...

    Graphs show on screen but don't print out

    Sorry I assumed you were using a report. Then again I'm a bit slow I should have looked more carefully.

    Animated GIF's On Forms?

    The Access environment does not understand animated gifs, it interprets them as still images. Your best bet is to run a sequence of images. You could use a compatible image control device but I don't know of such other than a browser object, but I think that would be over the top.

    Graphs show on screen but don't print out

    :confused: Hmm. Try toggleing with AutoSize on the Chart control. If you are in absolute dispair with ActiveX (MS Chart) there are other solutions that would work just as well.

    Graphs show on screen but don't print out

    Ok I'm pretty sure it is not a printing problem. Can you tell me what you use to populate the charts? Are you using any events at all?

    Graphs show on screen but don't print out

    Have you got layout for print selected? Have you put any code in the on print and/or on current events? What are you using for the charts Active-X?

    Countdown Database

    I have Acc97 on this computer so I can't see your sample. But I presume they have to have the form open all the time and you store times for adding up. I don't think this is realistic. Having a timer on all day is a waste of processing time, and if the user is having technical problems they are...

    unique form layout – is it possible ?

    I not saying it can't be done but it is normally best to reserve forms for: Switch Boards Data Entry Data View forms are more for collating data for visual aids, unless the visual aid is specific to a record or a special case such as accumulation, calculated values or a summary in the footer.

    Save Paper Size in Access Runtime

    I would not recommend exporting to snapshot. If you are using a dot-matrix printer there is really no need for a fancy report. I would recommend outputting it to a txt file. This way you can control the output size by character string length. Dot-matrix printers are great for this and it will...
