Print a previewed report

[Bruce]

I have put together a form to make a fax to be sent to a
vendor. The form uses a combo box to select the vendor
from a query. The user adds a message, his/her name,
etc. I made a report that draws information directly from
the fields in the form. A command button on the form lets
me preview the report. Now I would like to add a command
button on the report to print it. I know I can print
using Ctrl + P, etc., but can I print the report from a
command button on the report? I can add a functional
Print command button to the form, but I can't get a
command button on the report to be anything other than
decorative. What am I missing?

Nope, you can't add a button to a report. Reports are nothing more than
drawings of the data and the graphic elements added to the report, there's
no action available. What you need to do as the same way Access does it is
to use a command button on a tool bar......
