    Viewing a Report prior to printing.


    I have an Access database form with a button to print specific reports. It is working as designed.

    I would like to view the report on the screen prior to printing it. any suggestions?

    When using ViewPreview, the report opens behind my main form, how do I bring the report to the front?

    Is the form set as Modal Yes? Try setting the report as Modal Yes.

    Setting forms/reports as Popup or Modal presents other issues. I avoid both as much as possible. I don't set these properties until I am done developing and am sure the db is ready for deployment.

    Form is set as Modal Yes, and PopUp Yes.
    This is necessary for program navigation as designed.
    Is there a work around to get the Report Preview to open on top?

    Thank you,

    One option might be to hide the form when you open the report and make it visible again in the close event of the report.
