Also posted here thread181-544240 have a Report that calls a Form when it is opened (using the OnOpen event procedure). On the Fform are two command buttons, "Preview" and "Save as File". Preview displays the print preview in Access. Save as File will save the report as an .RTF file.
Here is my problem.
I cannot get the Save as File button to work (Preview works fine). This is the error message I get after I click on my button, choose the Output To location and click on OK...
"Run-Time Error '2585' This action can't be carried out while processing a form or event. A macro specified as the OnOpen, OnClose, OnFormat, etc. property setting contains an invalid action for the property."
Do you know why this is happening? I *believe* I setup my buttons correctly because if I go straight to my Form and click on the Save as File button, it works as intended. The problem occurs when the Report calls the Form.
If you need more info, please let me know.
Thanks,
MG
