Sometimes one, sometimes the other and sometimes I let them choose with a radio button on the form where the report selection parameters are specified. Really depends on what is most often wanted. I prefer things be validated usually by previewing, especially if it's a longer report. I have some that are HUNDREDS of pages long. On some of my application's report selection screen I will give them options to select which buyers data they want etc, and how to sort it and do they want to export directly to an Excel file or print directly or preview and then a "run report" button below that. Then in the on click event for that run report button I evaluate what they chose and get er done with those choices.

But, then I'm thinking...anything I believe I can really do, will happen whether it prints or not, so this might just be a worthless little thing anyhow. > -- > AccessD mailing list > AccessD at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > -- Gary Kjos garykjos at gmail.com
