Making objects visible in a report

[Lockrin]

Hello all, I have a report with certain boxes and labels that I need to be visible based on the value of a checkbox. The code that I have works ONLY IF I print preview first. I have a button that directly prints the report and when I click this it bypasses the code and automatically sets it to visible. Here is what I have:

Private Sub Report_Load()
On Error GoTo Err_Report_Load

If Me.Asterisk.Value = -1 Then


Me.MTDescription.Visible = True
Me.MTOp.Visible = True
Me.MTOpDate.Visible = True
Me.MTAcceptBox.Visible = True
Me.MTRejectBox.Visible = True
Me.MTAccept.Visible = True
Me.MTReject.Visible = True
Me.MTBox1.Visible = True
Me.MTBox2.Visible = True
Me.MTBox3.Visible = True
Me.MTAcceptBox.Visible = True
Me.MTRejectBox.Visible = True
Me.MTReference.Visible = True
Else
Me.MTDescription.Visible = False
Me.MTOp.Visible = False
Me.MTOpDate.Visible = False
Me.MTAcceptBox.Visible = False
Me.MTRejectBox.Visible = False
Me.MTAccept.Visible = False
Me.MTReject.Visible = False
Me.MTBox1.Visible = False
Me.MTBox2.Visible = False
Me.MTBox3.Visible = False
Me.MTAcceptBox.Visible = False
Me.MTRejectBox.Visible = False
Me.MTReference.Visible = False
End If

Exit_Report_Load:
Exit Sub

Err_Report_Load:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Report_Load

End Sub



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming that the information is in the detail secton of your report. Use your code in the "On Print" event in the detail section instead of the Load event. That should solve the problem.
