disable print button in toolbar

[Patricia]

Is there a way to disable the print button on the toolbar? I have a user
that insists on clicking on it because they can and it spits out hundreds of
pages to the printer !

Patricia,
From what I can gather, the most common (and easiest method) is to create a custom menu
bar, with no Print (think you mean the little printer icon).
Just indicate your custom menu name in the MenuBar property of the form. You could
them create a print button on the form, which you could control as to where and when it
would be active.
Be aware that it is still possible to print via the File/Print (which you could remove
also) but you would probably need to write up some way to duplicate the FilePrint
functions on your form.

A better solution, and one that requires no coding at all... is to charge the user the
per page cost of each page (ex. .07/page) they print for "non-business" use!!
