printing all fields on a form with a tab control embedded

[dotolee]

Hi there.
I want to know if there's way to print all data on my form. i have a tab control with many tabs on it.
So far, i've tried using the button wizard and i've tried both printing a form, and printing a record. Neither is what i want. what's happening is that it's only printing the data for the current tab that's open.
I know I can write a routine to print all the variables with their associated values, but it would be nice if I could provide a way to print the actual form (ui) too.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

will a report work for a record that has been created, but not saved yet? sorry, i guess this was a critical piece of info...
before the user saves, they want to be able to essentially take a "print screen" of the record they've just finished creating.

sorry, i guess my post was vague.
i was just in a rush heading out the door. in anycase my apologies for not being clear.
i'll try to search the database for this question to see if someone has already answered it...
??
thanks.

It sounds as if you want a simple way to do this, and it doesn't exist. As PHV has suggested you need to create a Report, and the record will have to be saved first.

Unfortunately, i can't have them save first - the requirement is for them to do this before hitting save. I'm going to just reuse an audit routine i have that loops through every control and prints the value. I guess we'll have to forgo a printout that includes the actual UI.
Thanks for the responses.
