Printing problem

[Tim]

I have a form with student info on the form and a button "Requery" next to
that form. When I click on that button and input a new studentId at the
prompt, the form will be refreshed and show up that new student info. When I
print out that form, a second page will be printed out also with that button.
I want to print out the form ONLY without the second page (waste paper and
waste time). I moved the button around, i.e., on the top of the form, so I
can print out the form only (on one page), but it also include the button at
the top. I don't want the button on the form.
Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.

Tim,

Might the problem be that you are using forms (not meant for printing) as
opposed to a report which could easlily be linked to the record you want to
print? Is there a reason you choose to use the form instead of a report?

Hi Gina, thanks for response. I scaned a real form and saved it as a bitmap.
The form is supposed to fill in by hand but now converted to a computer-based
form. The prompt asks for studID once entered will put that student info on
the form. I think I will have to create a new report similar to this form.
When clicking on the newly created "Print" button on this form, the report
will be printed out instead of the form. Do you think that's the way to do or
do you have a better idea? Thanks again. I appreciate your help.

Hi:

Did you try to use the "Display When" property of the button? Set it to
Screen only so that it will not be printed with the form.
