Report won't print

I have a report whose control source is set with the OnOpen event like so:

me.RecordSource = sqlstr

The report previews fine but doesn't print. Strangely, if I try to print it from the database window using the right click print command, it prints. Anyone know what's happening here and how to get it to print?

Two questions...
1. Where is the Open event picking up the sqlstr from? From a form?

2. Is there any chance that whatever provides the sqlstr is being closed before the Print is issued?

The sql string is part of the OnOpen event. It's just a simple query and there isn't any other code associated with the report. The report is opened from a form with a date criterion and the form remains open until you quit the report.

I've managed to get round the problem by printing the report from the form but it's not ideal. I would rather print the report from a menu while it is in Preview mode. From a brief search on the net, I notice this is a problem encountered by others but I haven't found a solution yet.
