Stop print preview when printing report Access 2007

Hi,

I have a series of forms which have a "print" button attached to them which
when clicked prints out an assortment of reports.

Everything works fine, however what ever you print generates a print preview
which sits behind the popped up form window, and I need to stop this
happening as it prevents the next report from printing properly

I don't want to preview the form, only print it out. Is this possible, and
if so, how?

Many thanks
 
Sarella,

Since printing and previewing are seperate actions there must be something
in your code that says Preview. Can you copy/paste the code you are using
here?

Hi Gina,

I'm a very basic Access user, so created the button using the button wizard
toolbar and selected the report options - print report choice, and then
picked the report I wanted it to print. This has embedded a macro to the on
click property which shows:

Action : Open report: Purchase Order Print Report for EDIT - CANCEL screen,
Report, , , Normal

RunCommand: Print.

When the OpenReport line is highlighted the fields at the bottom specifiy
Report name, view, filter name, where condition and window mode. I have
changed view from print preview to print, but this causes macro errors.

I'm sorry that this probably isn't very clear. do you have an email address
and I can send you a screen print?

Many thanks, much appreciated
 
Sarella,

For my eMail address please go my web page, there is a button located on the
*Home* page. I do not post my eMail in any newsgroup as it will harvested
by Spammers. As I don't use Macros once you send me the screen shot I will
go and open my Access 2007 to assist you.

Sarella,

Change your macro to the below... Just copy paste on the Arguments line and
remove the RunCommand: Print line.

Purchase Order Print Report for EDIT - CANCEL screen, Print, , , Normal
