print preview

[Pass-the-reality]

ok, we have a form for our associates to fill out. On the form, I want to
add a button that once selected, you can type in a record id for another form
(kind of like a search engine), but instead of pulling up that actual form, I
want to pull up a print screen of that form. The only way I can think to do
it is to set up a report and then have the button run a print preview of the
report. The report would allow a pop up box that ask for you to type in the
record id. Is there an easier way to do this? Example. If I am on form id
number 1234 and I want to view form id 6789 in a print preview only.

Forms usually don't print all that well and it would open in a print preview
window.
I would recommend you create a read only version of the form and just open
that with the record you want to show displayed.

You can control it so the user can't move off the record and can't do
anything with the data. Just set the form properties so that the use can't
add, edit or delete, hide the navigation buttons, and only show the Close
button
