Table of Contents/Opening Report Multiple Times

J

jimo

Thanks to all for the great content on this site - I've resolved a lot of
issues by reviewing previous posts.

I've searched this forum pretty thoroughly and couldn't find the answer to
the following:
I have a report that generates a document that replaces an older MS
Word-based template. I've been able to replicate everything in the template
except for the table of contents. I've found reference to a solution for
populating a table of contents table based on the pages identified while
printing the report (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=210269), but this
requires that the table of contents report then be printed separately from
the main report. I'm looking for a way to generate the content as a single
document.

I can imagine two potential paths to investigate:
1. Somehow opening, print previewing all pages, and closing the report to
populate the table of contents table, then opening the report again and not
updating the table of contents.
2. generating the table of contents via some other mechanism (e.g., not
basing it off data stored in a table).

Subreports, VBA, macros, and voodoo are fair game. Appreciate any help you
can offer in advance.

Jim
