Hello to everyone,
I need a little direction on setting up my report preview portion of an
application I am currently working.
I am going to first explain how I currently handle this, then "try†to
explain what I really want and hopefully some of you with greater skills than
myself can point me in the right direction.
Currently:
I use Snapshot reporting. When a report is selected from my report selector
form, the report is generated and written to the local c:\ drive as a
snapshot file...titled "report.snp"
My code in the report selector form then opens a form, which has the
snapshot viewer ActiveX on it. There is no real problem with this, it seems
to work OK, but it is not what I really want. I would prefer to eliminate the
ActiveX control use altogather if possible.
What I want to do:
1. Generate a report from my report selector normally, just like I do now.
2. Open the standard Access report view screen.
3. Have this open not as FULL Screen (Not Maximized), but rather a size I
can determine by hard coding the report view preview window size...I HAVE NO
CLUE how to do that.
4. I want the Report viewer to be Pop-up & Modal...I think this is just the
setting in the report design.
5. I want NO toolbar at all
6. I want the menu’s to have File with (Exit, Print, Page Setup, Print
Preview, Send To)
7. Only Close button at top…No Minimize, No Maximize
8. Shortcut menu (Standard…But no way to get into the Design Mode)
I realize this is a lot of items, and I don’t expect anyone to do my work
for me, but if someone can point me in the general direction…or a better one,
I will be most appreciative.
Thanks to All
