How not to print buttons on a report?
I've created my Access 2007 solution in a couple of hours. It works
great although I have a couple of questions that I'll ask in this ng. I even was able to put buttons on the report to make my life easier, though it's not something usually done, I'm sure. In Excel, you can right-click and tell Excel not to print a button so your sheet can be covered with button that have macros attached to them but they don't print out. You get a regular spreadsheet printout. Can this be done in Access, too? I have a PRINT button and a CLOSE one and they both work very well, it's just that they print out on the report, which is not nice. How to fix that, pls? |

How not to print buttons on a report?
StargateFanNotAtHome,
Sounds like you're printing the image of a form, (ergo the printed buttons) rather than creating a real report. If so, on the form, set the button's Display When property to Screen Only. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."

How not to print buttons on a report?
Al, that's what happens in A2003. I checked in A2007 and you can definitely
put buttons on a report - that's quite a change to what we are accustomed to doing. I can't see any properties where you set the buttons to not print though.

Hi Jeanette,
Good point... I was not aware of that. Well, we'll just have to see what the OP really means.

How not to print buttons on a report?
Stargate,
After reading Jeanette's reply... which is correct... my solution would still apply... Those buttons on the report have a Display When property too. (Just like buttons on a printed form) Try setting Display When to Screen Only. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."
