And you've got it backwards, Rocky.  Engineers don't want it simple - the more complex the better!  I say, give them a wizard with at least 17 steps to complete just to close the preview . . . 

:o)

That's why they invented tooltips, Rocky.  Set the tooltip text and let
them hover their mouse over the button to find out the long version of
the instructions!  LOL

I sue a custom tool bar for reports.  It only has the magnifying glass,
the box with the percent magnification and a command button labeled
"CLOSE".  So users have three ways to get out of a report preview -
close button, X in the upper right, and the  ESC key.

However, you're working with engineers so there's probably not a simple
enough solution.  I suppose you could [put a close button on a custom
toolbar with a long caption like "Click this button to close the
report."

The engineer that wanted this database thinks there out to be a back
button or some text to explain to the user how to exit the print
preview.
Apparently file close is a difficult concept.

Explain what you're trying to do, please.  A print preview is a
formatted preview of the printed report.  You would not normally see
anything there that wasn't going to print.

I know on a form status bar text can exist. Is there anything like that
for a print preview. I would like to display a message somewhere on the
screen that does not print.
