Report goes directly to printer bypassing display on the screen

[Bill McCarthy]

I sure would appreciate some advice on this problem. I've asked before but
got no response and I'm getting desperate.

I have had this problem happen twice now.

I create a report that works successfully. I then modify it in such a way
that I need some code in the OPEN event. Once I do that, the report goes
directly to the printer and I can't get it to display on the screen first.
Even if I remove the code from the event processing, it continue to do this.


Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you, but some of the advanced users
might... Couldn't hurt if you posted the code that causes the problem, that
might give them an idea.

Good luck.

Not without seeing what you're doing, no!

Presumably you're using the OpenReport method in a macro or VBA code, right?
There's an optional argument which specifies whether you open in print or
preview mode; do you have acViewPreview specified in this action?
