Question Adding a print facility

[smeagain]

Hi,

How can I add a print button to my forms and reports. I just want to add a single button which when clicked will then print out the form or report that is currently on the screen. Cheers Dave

Just add a button to your form and the Button Wizard should let you select a Print function.

The same wizard will let you select a report to print as well.

I don't think you can add a button to the report itself as it would look silly when you print the report out. If you open a report in preview mode there is a print option you can select.

Forms are pretty straight forward, just follow the command button wizard and from Form Operations select Print Current Form.

Reports can be printed from the generic Access File menu. You can not (pre Access '07, at least) have functional command buttons on reports. You can however have a command command button on a form that will print a report, once again simply follow the Command button wizard.
