I want to stop users from being able to print from a
database. I don't want them to have the option to
print. I want users to be able to view and change data
but not print it. This way, if I lock down the folder
its stored in, I can prevent the info from leaving the
building.
 
i can't tell you how to prevent printing, though i'll bet
someone else can.
but i wanted to suggest you don't forget to consider other
possible avenues of "copying" info. right off the bat i
thought of the Print Screen key on the keyboard. you can
view a form or report in Access, press the Print Screen
key, and paste the picture of the screen into Word or
Powerpoint, and then print that - or save it to a file and
email it, or copy it to a floppy, etc. that would be a
clumsy way to get data, but...

anybody know how to turn off the Print Screen action?
