Hi Richard: Thanks for the reply. I guess what you are saying is that the best solution for me might be to write some script that prints the pdf without storing in access, but is there a double-click solution for the Ole bound box in a report.  On the database that I sent you, on page 2 of the R_Exemptions report file I inserted a bound OLE to print the pdf file. But in the report, I can't double-click on it like I can the bound OLE in the form and get the pdf to open. Of course, for my users, the ideal would be for them so somehow seemlessly print each report without having to do anything special with the pdf.  The next best thing would be to be able to double click or some such on the report Ole bound box and print the pdf.
