Report with shortcut menu

[Dimitris Nikolakakis]

I have created a shortcut menu with:
- Page setup
- Print

and I have put it on the right mouse button of a report.

I have put a button on a form that previews this report.

I right click on the preview and I select 'Print' but it prints directly
without opening the dialog box of windows to select the printer or what
pages I want to print. For example I have a report with 100 pages and I want
to print only 2.

I do not want to use the Toolbars of ACCESS. I have created mine.

The same problem happens if I put the command PRINT on my toolbar (it prints
directly)

thanks

How did you place the 'print' command on your shortcut menu?

You need to *copy* the item from File, Print menu.
