Always see Unbound list box borders when printing a form
I have a Form that has some unbound list boxes. The form gets some of its
data from a previous/linked form, but gets other data from a separate table in the database that has a join field to certain data items on the two forms. No matter what I do to the Borders of the unbound list boxes (make white, make Invisible, change style, etc.), I can't get rid of the border from showing up when I PRINT the form! It does not show up in Form view, or even print preview! ... but DOES show up when printed out. Any tips/ideas? I've printed to three different printers, so it does not look like it's a printer/font thing.... Thanks |

But then why are you printing the form itself? Forms are not designed for printing. Create a report with just the controls and data you wish to report on. Print that. -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |

No. The list boxes Display When property is set to Always.
Forms may not be "designed" for printing, but that should not preclude the ability to do so. I used a form to print (in this particular situation) because I had a completed Word document that I wanted/needed to use as a template in the form. I then place the data elements (text boxes, list boxes, etc.) at various locations "in" the document.
