I have inherited a database which originally did a direct print output when a menu item was selected. However we really need the report to appear in PrintPreview rather than print out directly as we need to be able to export the data to a file before the print output is generated. The current code for this routine is
Private Sub Submissions_By_Estimator_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Submissions_By_Estimator_Click

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "Rpt Submissions By Estimator"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal

Exit_Submissions_By_Estimator_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Submissions_By_Estimator_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Submissions_By_Estimator_Click

End Sub

And I have tried amending it so that the acNormal is replaced by acViewPreview and this does generate a print preview of the report, however the report appears behind the main menu screen and I can't access it to export the data or manually print it out - how do I get the report to be the active window rather than it running behind the main menu?
 
many thanks, that's great
