    Access Print View Problem


    So i am new in using access. and i hope i got the thread in the right place
    I developed a project that creates reports of events.
    I have placed a button so i can print the reports. When i press the Print button, it brings up the Print Preview mode.
    The problem is that the whole program freezes without allowing me to click anything. Although if i open any windows that covers up the access program it is responsive again.
    Any ideas of what is going wrong?

    if the button code says:
    docmd.openreport "report",acViewPreview

    then remove the comma acViewPreview and it will print directly to printer

    Also, there is this thing called Report View. I rarely find a need for report view, but I think it will open in a tabbed window, just like a form does. So maybe what you desire is to use Report View instead of Print Preview.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
