    General Macro Qeustion

    Sorry for the lame question, but does Access allow you to create external functions via macros (print to file, etc)like you can in Word and other Office apps? I would like to have a report print out to a file so that I can use Adobe's distiller and create PDF's from it? Any thoughts?

    My question is (I hope) fairly straight forward: I want lines around each field within my report. Basically I want the data to be similar to a datasheet (with the lines around each field, like a chart) That way data is more easily read accross the report? Any way to do this?

This field is a linked field to another table that provides about 15 diffeent possible entries. Can...
