Printing multiple tab control contents on a form

[AppStaff]

Anyone know if there is a way to print the contents of multiple tabs on a tab control in a form. I have about 7 tabs that are formated very nearly in the same manner I would want to print them but I can't figure out how to do it.

Reproducing this in a report would be significant work so any help is appreciated.

The only way I could think to overcome this would be to create a report that has each of the tab pages as subreports one after another.
When the user presses the print button, instead of printing the form, it prints the report, filtered to show just the data on the form if you so wish.

how would you add a tab from a form as a sub report?

What you would have to do is create 7 reports that look the same as your tabs, then a report that looks the same as your main form, without the tabbox. You then add the 7 reports as subreports to the main report.

If you need me to, I can create a quick demo if you like.

Thanks for your response but the whole purpose of my post was to try to prevent the duplication of the tabs work by needing to create reports that mirror the tabs.

I'd just like to be able to click a button and ...

print tab 1,
*next page*
print tab 2,
*next page*

...etc
