Print Preview window

I have a form from which I launch two reports dependent on the data the
user wants to collect they can preview the sheets (reports). I launch
two reports at once because they are field sheets which are for slightly
different types of data collection which the user prints out all they
need for a day (the system decides) and goes out, collects data and
returns to base and enters it back to the system.

At the moment when I launch the 2 reports involved, the print preview
comes up for first one then the other report centered in the Access main
window. Problem is one window completely covers the other so you cannot
see both are there at once.

Is there anyway to move or reposition the print preview windows
programatically or otherwise so the user can see both at once?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Regards,

Craig Talbot.

First set the report's AutoCenter (and Auto Resize?)
properties to No. Then position the report where you want
it to appear on the screen. Finally save the report's
design. It should open in the same place (and size) as when
you saved it.
