Printing out a single form

[Lou_Reed]

I know that it is not done very often, but when I do print out a single form it seems I am having problems on the printout. The command buttons do not


appear or print out and sometimes even what the form appears on the screen does not show up in the printout; in other words I get a blank sheet.

But first things, first. How to do get the command buttons to printout when I print out a single form?

It seems that they are systematically left out on all of my printouts.

Any help appreciated. thanks in advance.

I seriously having the problem of printing out a form without the command buttons printing. That is why I posted this question. If it is something simple then I have not seen it.

Please can someone help me on this one?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Forms aren't typically made for printing, that is what Reports are for.
Forms are made for interaction/data entry.
Typically, if people want to print something on a form, you see a Print button on the Form, which open a Report of the current record(s) are prints that.

I gathered as much from Googling the term once I had posted the message. So it is not acceptable to print a form?

Ok.

Well, I have seen people try, but as you can see, it isn't the easiest to work with because that is not really what Forms were designed for.
As someone once told me, you could conceivably use a wrench to drive nails, but it is better to use the tool that was designed for that purpose.
