check if the users printed the opened report

[TNL]

Hi,
I want to know, if the users had printed the report, that my program had
opened.
In access 2k I can not open a report in modal modus, the formview toolbar is
used, users can click the print button on the toolbar.

Can I display a report on a form?

Thanks
TNL

You can put code in the proper events to create a record / log / indication.
But, given the likelihood that a printer may jam and the printing be
unsuccessful, without any error return (I've seen this happen far too often
on networked printers), you won't really know if it was _successfully_
printed unless the user enters that information.

Can I display a report on a form?

No, you can display a Form in a Subreport Control, but you can't display a
Report in a Subform Control. My guess is that Forms can be displayed so are
suitable for use in Reports, but Reports cannot be made "interactive" to be
suitable for use in Forms.

"You can put code in the proper events to create a record / log /
indication"

in which events can I put code? I have no control over toolbars, shortcut
menus.
If I need to create myself a toolbar (and deactivate the standard toolbar,
shortcut menus), then that is too much work.
