Buttons on a report 2

[Duane8889]

Hello
Am I losing my mind or is it not possible to put a button on a report? I just get the magnify glass with a + or a - in the middle of it. Not the usual cursor arrow.

Why would you want to put a button on a report. A button on a report might look like a button but would have no click or any other event. Reports are static and don't allow for interaction with the user. You can print them, scroll through pages, zoom in and out, and close them.

I had wanted to put a button on to the report to print it. I guess it is easy enough to use the printer icon from the toolbar.

the only way to do that is to put the button on a form, which prints the report...

you can have the report as a subReport on the form though...

You can also create your own custom button bars.
