Non-printing controls in report

[tmryan2]

Is there a way to have a control / field on a report to show up in the print preview, but not print out?

Setting the visible property of the control to no doesn't work because it would make it invisible in both situations.

Thanks.

Controls on a report don't support the DisplayWhen property.
If your print is not too complicated you might consider printing a form. In that case you can set the DisplayWhen property.

No, I form wouldn't work for me in this situation. This is quite a long report that includes a lot of summary calculations in group footers and such.

I have been experimenting with changing the color of the font such that you can see it in report print preview but won't print out. However, I haven't had much luck with that avenue either.

I'm afraid the only option is to create a custom buttonbar for this report. The print button should print a different report than the one you're viewing.
