Can't Add Command Buttons To Report

G

Guest

Hi,

Is it possible to add a command button to a report? I have a report which
goes into print preview mode and I would like to give others the option of by
clicking OK to send a snapshot via email or Cancel to close the report.

This is how I have it setup:
I have a Form which contains different command buttons. These buttons launch
different reports based upon which button they click. The OnClick property
launches a Macro which Opens the Report and Maximizes the PrintPreview
Window. The Report itself has an OnOpen property which launches a Form for
Criteria Input and an OnClose property to Close Criteria.

Now, I can create all the steps necessary to automatically send the email
without an OK from the user, but I want to give the user the opportunity to
review the report and hit either OK or Cancel before sending the email. For
some reason, my report will not allow me to put a command button on it. I am
using the latest Jet 4.0 pack with Access 2003. Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

Reports don't include interactive controls (like buttons or links) because
they are designed for printing.

If you want to perform a function with a button, you would need to do so on
a form. Just add a button to your form that sends the report as a snapshot.
