    Scale down print preview


    Is it possible to show a scaled down version of a report on a form?

    many thanks.

    by scaled down do you mean 'zoomed' or do you mean less data?

    If the former, the onbly way I think it could be done is by taking a snapshot of the report as an image, storing it on disk and then using an image control to display the zoomed image. If the latter, then only by having a difference report with less data in it and showing via a subform

    Hi thanks again for your help.

    It was a zoomed version of the report I wanted.

    I have downloaded a trail version of a db and it has a pop up window showing the report which grows/shrinks when the pop up is resized.

    That is standard access functionality for reports - right click on the preview screen and select the zoom. It is not available when the report is viewed in a subform.

    Not what you are looking for, but might give you some ideas - see this link about opening a report to a specific zoomed level

    There is also this link which is what I was thinking of for zooming an image

    Also found this link to convert a report to jpg, although again, I suspect this is not what you want - but perhaps you can output2 a pdf then rund some code to run the app to convert the pdf to an image

    good luck with your project
