My users are impressed with my database BUT! When the swichboard directs them
to the Report there then is no control/button that they can click to go back.

So how do i add controls to my report just like you can top a form.

Please explain in basic
 
Samrasr,
You can't place working Buttons on a report.
What I've done in the past is to create a "custom" Print Preview Report
Menu that displays when the report is in PrintPreview. (In my apps, when
users opt to print a report, I usually show users the PrintPreview and allow
them to print or quit)
The only options on that menu are Print and Exit, so your users should be
able to handle that.
Check out Help for creating "custom menus". ("Attach a custom menu bar
to a form or report")

You cannot.

Reports are for printing; print preview is exactly that - it lets you
preview what will be printed. A button printed on paper does nothing,
so a button on print preview also does nothing.

Teach the users that the little X in the upper right corner of any
Windows-compliant application closes the window; it works fine for
print preview mode.
