Hey all. New to the forums. I've done some basic stuff in Access before (mostly data mining an queries), but I'm relatively new to forms, reports, and VB so please bear with me.

My problem is this:

I have a form that I want to print. The form has some data up top, then a subform that displays some detailed instructions for various steps.

One of the fields in my subform references the main form (so that I can use it in a calculation for another field). When I look in design view or form view it looks fine. When I print the form, however, that field and the one that references it are blank.

Oddly, when I print previewed the form yesterday I'm pretty sure it showed the data as blank, but now it looks like the print preview is OK, even though it still won't print.

Any ideas? I've searched around on this forum and Google, but no luck so far - although I might be phrasing my question poorly.

Hopefully that's enough info - thanks in advance for the help!
 
OK - quick update. It looks like the print preview works fine if I hit it from From view, but it looks like the printout (blank spaces) when I hit it from Design view. Hopefully that helps....
 
Dont print forms, print reports
