Report Vs Forms and ON-CLICK Event ?

I've set up a report that's working fairly well.

But....It would work even better with that OnClick feature (that's available
with forms).

It would be great if the user could click an item on the report and see some
detail (would have it linked to a form or sub-report showing such).

I'm kinda new at Access........Is that OnClick feature under a textbox's
Event tab supposed to work in a Report? It simply doesn't exist in this
Report.

If it's just not available.....is there a way to convert a Report into Form
format but have it display and print the same way it does now?

Thanks.

Access reports in preview mode are not interactive. All you can do is
change the zoom and the page.

Ugg.....

I checked the Report edit for a Save AS form....but it's not an option....

....do you think there's any way to convert the report to a for...and have it
look the same. Forms seem to be very "blocky"....in that each item of data
is displayed in a text box...

Thanks

Set the BackStyle and BorderStyle of all TextBoxes to transparent and you should
be able to make a form that is "report-like" (at least in that respect).
