Question Getting Data from Print Dialog Box

[isethjmave]

Hi,

Is there a way to get information in the print dialog box (File -> Print)? Like when i click ok or cancel? Or any other way that i will be able to know that the report is sent to printer or being printed.

Thanks

i dont have any print button. im using the print option in the toolbar or using ctrl + p.

the print dialog box pops up, is there way to know when the user clicks ok or cancel?

There is no way to know for certain that a report was printed. The best you can do is have a button (as was already suggested) that sends the report directly to the printer at which point you could set a flag or increment a counter. If you open a report in preview, you have no way of knowing if the user ever sent it to the printer and if he sent it, if the print actually happened or did the print fail for some reason.
