Printing a Form

Sorry for another newbie question!

I am attempting to make an invoice form which will print across two pages.

Am I better off trying to figure out how to print the form directly, or should I create a print button on my form which will launch a report to print my information?

Just not sure on the approach I should take.


Thanks!

You are nearly always better off with a report, especially if you want to do something a bit different.
 
For me you have to use a form for display/input and a report for print.

Hope This Helps, PH.

How are ya mclellan . . .

For me! . . . the control you have over printing a report versus printing a form is at least [blue]Infinity/1[/blue] . . . [thumbsup2]

Thanks for everyone's input!

A report it is!

I many times have to print a form because there is a limit on number of fields on a report. I am dealing with that now.
