Print button visible on report
Peter de Waard

I think it was in one of Rick's Tech Help videos, where he showed how you can place a print button in a report footer so that you can print directly from the open report (Thank You!!). I incorporated this in my one page report (which is a ticket that goes on a shipping pallet), and it works smoothly. It just prints the one page report without the button visible in the report footer. However, in another database I tried exactly the same for another one page report, though now it prints the report with the PRINT button visible in the report footer. I have tried to compare all the settings and cannot find any difference in the settings that would cause the difference. What am I missing?

Are you sure the button wasn't on a FORM?

In the properties of the button, under the Format tab near the bottom there is an option Display When: if you change that to screen only it shouldn't show up on the print

I added a  Print (command) button to a report footer. It isn't visible at all. Even when the display properties are All. I tried the report header and footer and the page footer. I would prefer the report header. If and when I get it to display on the report opened in Print Preview, is it DoCmd.OpenReport "report name" then to send it to the printer? Which Tech Help video was this talked about in?

It will ONLY display in Report View. It will NEVER display in Print Preview.
