Best practice for print preview and print a report

[soulice]

Typically when you print something, you get a print preview (with focus) and then print dialog to print to a printer of choice. How can you accomplish this ni Access 2007? I can go straight to print, and I can preview (unfocused tab) or preview as popup, then magnify/demagnify with mouse and click ribbon print button.

How are you guys doing this?

Opening a report in Print Preview mode is the print preview that you speak of. The report toolar has zoom buttons too.

I think I see my issue. I have a form that launches a popup form (modal) for data entry of a single record, with a print button as they want to print a report of that record at data entry time. The form either opens as a tab without focus or if I set it to popup, opens in the front but I can not access any ribbons cnotrols as the modal status of the first form prevents it. Need to rethink the process...

Perhaps just close the form after opening the report.
