Need suggestions for report navigation.

[David618]

I need a tip on report navigation. Currently, 4 different reports fire from a Main Menu for anyone who logs in as a super user. The problem is, after they fire the report, there is nothing available to get them back to the main menu - or print - or exit the application from there. There's the document tab - and close the report "X" in the right corner - same for the application itself.



What's the best approach to this? I was reading it's not good to put a button on the report itself. So how do I create some kind of "navigation pane" to the side - or something like that - after the report fires?

Buttons on report don't work in Print Preview but they will in Report View. Maybe you don't really want report, maybe you want a form for screen viewing of data.

Yeah, for now I put buttons on the reports - to return to the Main Menu and to Print (and return to the Main Menu) but I may want to create something a little more snazy later (like a separate Reports Menu that launches and allows the user to interract and select different parameters for the report - e.g., department, based on certain criteria, etc.). i think this will pass for the time being, but I'm sure they'll want some kind of upgrade soon. Thank you for being so helpful and offering suggestions!
