Are you using vba outputreport? You can name it whatever you want there. Or are you saying you want to use the button and have the default word show up there?

right I am saying Just use the button on the ribbon at this time and have the dynamic file name like above.

Ah, sorry I can't give you a good answer, I don't really know much about those buttons, I learned VBA and didn't have a need for them. Normally in this case I would just add a button and use VBA to do it, I'm not sure if there's a property to interact with those default buttons. I would wait and see if anyone else has any ideas but...

The button appears to default to the name of the report, so as a LAST option if you HAVE to use that button and there are no other solutions. You could use docmd.rename to change the name of the report to what you want it to be (this seems to be what that default file explorer chooses), and then change it back in the on close event.

At that point you're making it way complex too for a 1 line VBA statement, just use VBA to export to PDF if nobody else has a simple solution ;).

ok, so just put the button on the report and make it not printable right?

Yea you could do that, Display when: Screen only

Ok so i did that but I can get the button to show on printview even when I select  Display = Always.  I am using acViewPreview

So opening it like that is setting it into Print Preview mode, which we don't want. We want Report View mode to be able to interact with the button and not have it come up when printing. Try using acViewReport instead

Awesome that worked thanks for all your help and advice
