Print preview from tabbed navigation

[Vegaanders]

Hi all.

I have built a small HRM Access project. One of the tasks is to print out payslips. If I open report it ask me for what month and then show me the payslips for those who have got some salary that month. It also shows the print button.

I want to collect all the different reports in a tabbed navigation. This is no problem but when I want to open the report from inside the tab I cant get it to show up in Preview. Is this not possible or what do I do wrong

Is your form set to modal or pop up? That can keep it on top.

the code behind the buttom must be:

docmd.openreport "myreport", acPreview

[Vegaanders]

Can I change the code behind a navigationbutton. When I try it say read-only

[ranman256]

is the db an .accdb?
or
.accde?

[Vegaanders]

It is an accdb

Are you talking about the "new" Navigation Forms?

[Vegaanders]

I have used the tabbed navigation control.one tab opens a report(payslip). When I open the reprt standalone it opens up as a preview as I want, but when I open it by clicking the tab that is not possible and the code behind the tab I can't change, it is read-only. Hope this make sense.

I'm afraid I've not used those Navigation Forms yet and so have no experience. If you wanted to post your db so we could play with it then I at least might have a chance. If you do post it then remove any sensitive data of course and then Compact and Repair before zipping up the db. Uploading db's is in the second page of the "advanced" posting script.

Hi!
I gave up and used normal command buttons instead. Now it works as I want it too. Thanks for help
