[AccessD] Re: When is a report actually printed

David,

If you are not using an MDE you could do the following:

Right-click on the report and go to properties.
Enter No Print;No Preview in the description.
Change the description in code on the line
before opening it in Preview or Print mode.

If you need help with the code, let me know
and I will post it to the list.

I don't think you can change this property in an MDE.
