Steve, It might surprise you! Basically all I did was write a couple of wrappers (depending on whether I wanted like on a page on a pageframe or on a separate form), rolled the Query and sent it and the Report to the object with a parm that told it where to put it (no laughing please). It did the rest.
Gotta admit though, I was a little paniky(sp) the first time out but Cathy was gracious enough to Get me over the hump! It actually makes report output (including previews) a piece of cake. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Ellenoff Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 2:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Non Modal Report Preview? Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'll have to find some time to devote to this and see what I can get working.. :) @ Francis.. yes, I've had that book since it came out, but have not read it yet. I probably haven't read it because subconsciously I know if I read it I'll want to redo all my reporting to use listeners which means lots of code changes, and lots of restructuring of my apps, and then i'll want to start rewriting all my apps and fixing bad code habits, and other stuff.. and well, before you know it, I threw everything out the window.. ;) At 04:23 PM 12/05/2008, you wrote: >Steve, > >Cathy Pountney explains it best.
