We're talkin' engineers, here, Charlotte. :o) Rocky -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 2:26 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Status Bar Text 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!

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."

Apparently file close is a difficult concept. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 2:50 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Status Bar Text 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.

Is there anything like that for a print preview. I would like to display a message somewhere on the screen that does not print.
