Default Button on Report

I have a command button on a form that works great, but I am trying to put a
Close Report button on a report. I can't seem to use the wizard and if I put
a button on the report and select Event under Properties it is blank and
gives me no options to put in an event procedure. Can you not put command
buttons on a report. I will be having many non-access users printing reports
and need to have something to tell them to close the form or return to the
switchboard. Please help.

You have ot use a menu abr or toolbar. A report in preview is "just pixels"
that you cannot interact with though I hear that this changes somewhat in Access
2007.

You cannot place a functioning button on an Access report.
Place the button on a toolbar instead.

(Well, actually you can put a button on the report in Access 2007 only,
provided you use the new Report View, which is not very helpful for other
reasons.)
