    Buttons Printing

    Hello, I have set my buttons to be visible on screen only. However, it would seem the one that I press (either export as pdf or print) appear on the report - how can I stop this happening? In this screen shot (https://snag.gy/F6tM1G.jpg) you can see the three buttons. Two will not print but the button that was pressed will if that makes sense. Thank you.

    Looks similar to one of my school incident reports.

    I can't replicate the issue with the button
    Suggest you upload your db with the report
    Change any student /staff names etc first

    UPDATE
    I've just read your other post and see you are viewing your report in report view where buttons are visible and can be clicked.
    However these should be invisible in print preview and when actually printed

    In contrast, rectangles that look like buttons and behave like buttons will be printed

    OK, I'll double check that. Certainly a peculiar one but thanks for the tips.
