Opening multiple reports in print preview

[MarkE]

New guy but immediatly my first question. I use Access 2007.

So I have a few reports (let's call them X, Y and Z). I want, after a user clicks a button, X, Y and Z open after eachother. So the first report to see is X. When they click the buttons on the bottom of the page ( the > button ) they go to report Y, and after that, you guessed it, report Z.

Just doing DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview three times in a row does not work, it only shows report Z then.
Adding Y and Z as subReport of X also doesn't work because the lay-out of the document would be completly messed up.

Help is really appreciated, making a fool of myself at the office now haha... Thanks!

The report are opened and stacked (overlaid) with the next report. Execute the docmd.openreports in the reverse order, such that X is the last opened, etc. The last opened will be on top of the stack,

Thank you for the quick response. When I do this, they only show the last one opened. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

The reports must be maximized with the last one on top.

Why do you need them all opened at the same time?

On each report's Report_Open even, move each report to a screen position and size you think appropriate, e.g. me.movesize per the method shown here.

Well, the other reports are most of the times used in combination with the first one. Let me explain better:

Page 1 has to be report X, page 2 has to be report Y and page 3 has to be report Z. I'm not getting anywhere now... Really appreciate the help. Thanks!

But why do they all have to be open in "preview" mode at the same time? Just open them, is really necessary.

If a report is on another report, it's a subreport. What your saying doesn't make sense to me.

I missed the acViewPrevoiew in your first post.
