This depends on what kind of report you are using.
Crystal reports 8.5 will export reports to PDF/Crystal format as well as other formats, that can be saved with their data and archived / viewing at a later date.
Access will also save a report, but it will save to its native format (Snapshot file).

Yes,
You can capture a screen shot of the active form with the right API's and save it as a bitmap. Bitmaps are very large of course so you would probally want to change it to a tiff. You can use the kodak/wang Image Edit control to convert a bitmap to a tiff and then save it to the desired location. If however you are using .net there are some built in capabilities that will save it as any format you want. And, if you do a search on the web you should be able to find a 3rd party vendor that sells print drivers that will take what is sent to the printer and convert it into a tiff for you.
