Is there a way to limit a users ability to print or save the segments of a
database that they can view?
 
This is asked pretty often. I think the answer is always "no". You might
be able to make it hard for them, but they could always just hit the "print
Screen" button and paste the data into Paint.

If they can see it shouldn't they be able to print it?

I don't know. I don't give permission to forlks if they should not have the
data.

I'm guessing you could put code in that might stop them from sending the job
to a printer. You could go into design view and force it to print to a
specific printer, then remove that printer. Not sure if they could still
view it or not. Or, make it print to your printer. Then they could not
print it without you knowing. Of course that would apply to everyone who
opened the report.
