Strange Print Problem

[kt2902]

My forms have a print button which prints a report displaying the same
information shown on the form. So far, so good.

I found that a few users were using Ctrl P to print and therefore printing
the form instead of the report.

I have fixed this problem by calling the print button code when the user
presses Ctrl P. This works great except for one form where it ignores the
keydown code, UNLESS I press the print button first. If the print button has
been pressed previously then Ctrl P works just the way I want it to. But if
you press Ctrl P before the print button is pressed the standard print dialog
opens. As this code is exactly the same as the other forms that work fine,
I'm a little confused as to whats going on.

Ok, solved the problem. The code wasn't firing because the focus was in the
subform.

Did you turn on the "Key Preview" attribute for the form?

Hope this helps,
