Show report in a form

I'll try to read between the line, here.

It sounds like you are trying to see some data when you are on a form. Or
are you saying you want to open a report from a form? Or maybe open a
window in a form that displays, hmmm?, an image of a report?
 
HI,

I want to be in a form and see the report in a textbox or
listbox or similar, keeping all forms properties. It's
just like when I run a query in a list box... Because all
my forms are modal, I can not see the report, it is hiding
back all the forms. Another way of seeing this: How do I
get the reports in front of modal forms (or on modal
forms)..
 
One approach might be to use code behind a button click to:
turn off the modal property
open the report
on return from the report, turn the modal property back on.
Click to expand...

JOPO (just one person's opinion)

Yepp, I did so, turned off modal, set forms.visible=false
and set it back again.

What I do is:
1. Minimize Access window
2. Set forms as pop-up
3. Forms not to be used, but dependent on each other set to visible=false
4. Open report in normal Access window.
5. Maximize report to fill screen

and reverse the whole thing...

Runs smooth and give a (great) GUI... in my opinion
