Hi All,
I have a form A that I sometimes print using the printout command, after
passing some parameters and making calculations.
I want to print the same form A from another form while making form A
invisible. How should I do this?
 
You should create a report from form a and print that instead of the form.
That way you don't have to hide anything. Reports are meant to be for
printing. Forms are meant for data-entry and showing data...
 
Thanks for your response, Maurice.
I decided not to create a report because of the complexity of the form, and
that the report would not be needed often. Moreover, the form allows me to
filter anyway I want. I just want wanted to avoid all the extra work needed
to create the report(s).
Is there a way I can print the form from another form?

FYI you can simply save the form as a report. Select the form in the
database window and choose File -> Save As, then select 'as report' from the
dialog's combo.
 
Stuart, you are wonderful!
I would not have thought of that in a million years. Thanks for your help.
