Merging Data onto a Preprinted Form

All:

I'd like to be able to print data on top of a scanned
form, but I'm not even sure how to go about this. The
user will fill out the proper data then I need a way to
get this data onto a form that has been scanned. Any
ideas?

Thank you...

It's tricky. Will it always be the same Form? If so, you can (very
tediously) go into Report Design mode and move and resize textboxes to
match the scanned form; just print out blank copies of the form, get
an accurate ruler, and use the rulers on the report design window to
match the report to the paper.

If it's a different paper form each time I know of no good way to do
this.

I just dropped a bitmap onto a form and embedded it.
I then added a few text boxes over the top.

It looks like you can add your form to the report as a picture, then just
line your controls over the right spot.

Not a good use for a delightful picture of a military function of some sort.
The soldiers are wearing kilts.
The wind is blowing.
It's true about what they wear under their kilt.

"Don't know where you've been,
But I see ya won first prize")
