Reports from dialog form
I have a variety of reports in my access2007 application. Most launch from
a reports form and display maximized with a custom ribbon to preview the report (export to pdf etc...). However some I like to run from a dialog form (example: when on a contact form you can easily launch the contact summary report (to show all information for that one contact). By default when I run the following code: DoCmd.OpenReport "rptXXXX", acViewPrieview,, "(ContactID = " & Me.ContactID & ")", acDialog the report shows up in a dialog window. Here's the issue: - when using the Access2007 runtime the shortcut menus are disabled so you can't even right click to get the menu to print the report (you have to know to use Ctrl+P). This is not user friendly enough for my users. What's the best solution? Most of my reports have two forms open when they are launched: frmContactList and frmContact for example. frmContactList might be filtered to show 50 of the 600 contacts available frmContact would be showing one contact's information Thanks in advance, Mark |

I ended up just creating a short-cut menu with the common options (print,
quick print, page setup etc...). Mark "Mark Andrews" wrote in message ... I have a variety of reports in my access2007 application.
