Is there a way to allow someone to print record information from two
different forms with one command button.

Situation is I have a form that has basic information about a contact, user
click on a command button to open a new form if they need additional
"detailed" information about this contact. What I would like to do is on the
second form is have users press a print button that would allow them to print
both forms. At this time the user needs to go to each form and press print.
Both forms are set to stay open.

Data is not stored in Forms. It's stored in Tables. Also, forms aren't
designed for printing; Reports are.

Create a Report based on a query joining the tables upon which the forms are
based; use the Sorting and Grouping to appropriately group the contact and
detail data. Print this Report from your form.
