Print All Tabs in Tab Control of Form

[bkf7911]

The requirements for the form I'm creating had too many objects, so i'm going to have to go with sub-forms shown on 4 tabs of a tab control.

Since this is my first time using the tab control layout on a form, i'm testing what issues i'll have.

So far, one has arisen. How do i get the thing to print all the tabs and not just the active one?

Also anything else i need to look out for?

Reports are for printing, not forms. It is not difficult to build a report based on the form.

Why would anyone need to print the data on the tabs? Most people would build a report to show this information.

Providing you have reports setup for each subform, you could use a [blue]command button[/blue] on the mainform to preview or print all three . . .

See Ya! . . . . . .

The forms are used to record a person's performance at specific tasks. It lists those tasks and the persons score for each task. In order to have coaching sessions with those persons, the score for each task needs to be displayed on paper. The easiest way for this in the past, was to just print the forms. Why bother creating another report if the form will do?

I've got a few ideas on how to get around this limitation, but thank you all for your input.

Bet you get through a lot of ink?

Not as much as my counterparts who for some strange reason have to keep each version of their Functional and Technical requirements as a PAPER document.

That, and my customers prolly go through a lot of ink printing these reviews. I just build 'em.
