We are using Access 97 and distribute Access Front End to
end users with ODE.

We would like to know is it possible for the end users to
get print preview of report and get the option to print
reports ? This is because we cannot find out how to print
from the Print Preview ? Should we just let them print
directly to printer instead ?

Thanks
 
Create a new toobar, and assign it to the report.
Copy the Print icon onto the custom toolbar.
The use can then click the toolbar button in preview to print the report.

To create the custom toolbar:
1. Open a report in Preview, so you can see the built-in toolbar.

2. Right-click the space to the right of your toolbar, and choose Customize

3. Click New, and name your toolbar.

4. Ctrl+Drag the printer icon from the built-in toolbar to yours.
IMPORTANT: Hold down Ctrl for this operation.
If you just drag the button you have moved it from the built-in one.

5. Close the Customize dialog

6. Open the report in design view, and set its Toolbar property.
(Other tab of Properties box.)
 
You can also tell the user that at any point when they preview the report
they can click on the Ctrl+P and get th dialog box of the print.
 
Thank you for your advice.
