Rocky,
That is not a problem. The code sent in my first post in this thread enforces FitToWindow mode for the report, before carrying out SendKeys command.
For adding buttons on the print preview toolbar, you have to right click on it and choose customize.
Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

A.D.:
What happens if I use the pop-up form approach and the user changes the report sizing so that it no longer is in "FitToWindow" mode?
I'd like to put the navigation in the custom report toolbar I made but if SendKeys won't work then that's a no go. How do you make a custom button for a toolbar anyway?
Thanks and regards,
Rocky

If you find yourself stuck on this account, and wish to avoid form based solution, you could consider experimenting with fTurnPage feature available at Leban's site. For this, you would have to download the file named ControlReports.zip.
