Controlling report preview in a pop up.

[IfButOnly]

I wasn't sure if this question belonged in Forms or Reports, but here goes.

When the user clicks the Print Button on a form, I want to open a popup form containing the preview. What I am trying to achieve is control over what the user can do in Preview mode - I want to supply the exit, print, next records etc commands but nothing else.

I have seen this done on some applications but nothing I could get my hands on to see how they did it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

The nearest you can get to this in access is to create a custom Print toolbar and attach it to the Report, or create a form that looks like the report and control the Print options from there.

Thanks Rich - not what I want to hear, but will save me a lot of wasted effort.

On my other question, I will try again to fathom QueryDefs - thanks for the feedback.
