file. I use function called “ConvertReportToPDF†and now I have a command
button that once it pressed it runs the report. What I need is once it
pressed the function is running but I could not do that . how can I do it?

There are quite a number of software packages to create PDF... from Adobe,
the originators of the format, other commercial vendors, and Open Source.
Every one that I've used installed as though it were a printer, so you can
specify it similarly to specifying a printer.

Because my users, always and invariably, want to look at a Report before
priting it, they just select the PDF creator installed on their system as
the printer, when they print from the preview screen. The software I am
currently using for this is PDF Creator, an OpenSource package available
from http://www.sourceforge.com.

Jon I do not understand your question. Could you try to explain in more
detail what you are trying to accomplish?

If you look at the code behind the CommandButton on the sample form named
"HowToUse" you will see the code that is used to call the ConvertReportToPDF
function.
