Previewing and Printing a Report


When you view a report, you are automatically looking at a preview of how the report will appear when printed. There is no need for a separate print preview toolbar button (although there is one in the database window toolbar). You can change the Preview view to show one or multiple pages, and you can change the level of zoom.



To preview and print a report:

  1. Open the report in Preview mode by double-clicking the report name in the Reports window.
  2. Change the view to display the number of pages you want to see. To see multiple pages, click the Multiple Pages toolbar button and select the layout you want.
  3. Change the zoom setting if you want to see details of a page or if you want to see the entire report at once (the fit option).
  4. Print the report.


Specific print settings are dependent on the type of printer you are using.

To open a report in preview mode:

  1. Double-click the report name in the Reports window.
  2. Click the report once to select it; then click the Preview button.
  3. Click the report once to select it; then select Print Preview from the File menu.
  4. Click the report once to select it; then click the Print Preview toolbar button.
