Printing with Description

[MarionD]

Funny titel I know! But couldn't think of anything else!

What I am trying to do is this:
When I print accounts, one after the other, by running through a recordset, then docmd.print.....where PatNr=recordset!patnr.

On the screen, as it displays the print status "print page 1 of 1 " and what is in "description" in the report prperties. I would like to display here also the Patnr.... and when I open the printer status, instead of just the same report name 50 times, to display also here the report description and the patient nr.
Is this possible?

Thanks for any help!
Marion

Should be do-able; have you tried creating a new field that you can link to the value of the PatNr?

Hi there .

No, but if I can display a linked field, then I ought to be able to display the pat nr. The "message2 screen that displays when printing is I think windows or access itself, not a screen I've created.
