Bug?

[Lord Justin]

Hi,
I have a problem. In Access 2007, If I change default value of some report properties (For example; Border Style, Close Button, Min Max Button, Movable, Show Page Margins), Report returns to Design View if i press the ESC key in the Print Preview.

Also it is same in ACCDE. I tested it. So do you think this is a bug? Or am I missing something?

Yes, I think that's what it does if you switch to preview from design, then hit Esc, while it should usually close by Esc or Ctrl+w/Ctrl+F4 if you've opened it from the navigation pain or directly through code.

Why doesn't Access only close the Preview and return to Normal View? Why does it return to Design if I press the ESC? This issue also occurs in ACCDE.
Do you think this is normal? I think this is a security issue. Because this thing only works when I change some report properties.

If you open the report from code or the navigation pain, it is supposed to close by hitting the close button, sometimes also when using Esc, or by using some of the other closing methods (ctrl+w/ctrl+F4).

If you haven't opened the report, but switched from design view, some of the above methods will throw you back to design view.

What is the bug? What is it that does or does not work in which version? I find this quite normal. When i do design changes in a report, then switch to preview, I think it's quite OK to get back to design view, while users, who should never ever be in design view, but have the report open directly, should experience the report to close (not enter any design view).

BTW I was under the impression that "Normal view" for a report, is to print it without displaying it. And, if you're in an ACCDE, there is no design view for forms or reports at all, that is one of the points of using ACCDE (or mde), that you aren't supposed to be able to alter design of those objects.

But when I open the report from Navigation Pain, it occurs again. You can try it yourself. I sent all files.(ACCDE, ACCDB)

Shortly, this situation occurs when I:

• open the Report from Navigation Pain and then switch to Preview.
• open the Report in Design Mode and switch to Preview.

But as I said before, this situation only occurs if I change the some report properties.

 

[RoyVidar]

Set "Print preview" as Default View. Disallow Layout View, perhaps also Report View, whatever that's supposed to be.

 

[Lord Justin]

What will I do if I want to use both view?

Try hard to convince yourself that you don't

Try hard to convince yourself that you don't

Anyway, thanks. I've sent a feedback. Do you think they can do something for it? Maybe I should wait SP1.
