    Printing a Chart On a Form

    I have a chart on my form. The chart is controlled by various option groups, text and combo boxes and a command button. My question is how do I print this charts sans all the controls on the form. On another project I had saved the chart as a report and then used a common module to update both charts so they remained in sync, but this seems bad practice. Is there a simpler way to do this?

    Conventional practice is to print reports, forms are intended for screen display. However, forms can be printed. Set the DisplayWhen property of controls to ScreenOnly.

    Thanks for that. The form is great for providing instant feedback, but as you stated, not so good for printing. I'll probably create a separate report.
