Refresh a form after a report

I have a form in Access 2000 which has a field the user must fill in to select a report which is in print preview. The first time the report is run everything is ok and after the print preview has been cancelled, we return to the form which still shows the selection criteria. However if after a short time (having left the form open) the user tries to run another report (or even the same report) the report shows no data and the database hangs. I tried coding to refresh the form after the print preview, but this happens before I have a chance to look at the print preview. Does anybody know how I can refresh the form as it sems to solve the problem. I would greatly appreciate any help in this matte

The bigger question is what is causing the database to freeze. What code are
you using to open the reports? What code are you using to refresh the form?
