sorry.. i wasn't clear..

i want to create the report when the form is open.. from within the form, because i dont want the user to access the Main window.

Do you mean you want to "Open" a report?

nopes, i want to create it from scratch.. is it possible?

I have answered this question before for you! I am sure I did .
My answer then was "No" And again I say no.....

To qualify that "no" actually it would be possible, but not for you to do , and I think I personally would have great difficulty doing it as well! If I started now, I think I could possibly do it in one month working flat out. I might be able to do it in less than a week, if I got lucky...

But I wouldn't do it, there is no reason to do it, it would be incredibly difficult to do, and there are much more simple ways of handling reports. As I pointed out in my previous answer!

ok you've seen my database.. In it, there is a form called frmMain. This will be the only form all users exept the admin can access. so, for the table 'Accidents' they should be able to create a report from within this form...

that was basically what i intended to do, but i guess it is not possible..

I don't think you understand what a report is. If you did I don't think you would have asked the question in the first place, and now your latest reply really brings it home to me that you do not understand reports!

Have you actually created a report yet?

nopes... OH YEAH, i forgot that reports also update depending on the fields...

the thing is i am working with access after like 2 years... so.. you know
