Running Reports from Form

Hope I can explain this properly......

I have a main form where I enter an order number, and this opens a sub-form filtered on this order number.

For each item on the order, I need to print a report specific to that Item, and want to do this via a 'print reports' command button. The complication is that the same item may appear on more than 1 line, but I only need to print the report once eg:

Item Desc Code Report
------------------------------------------------------------
A1234 Item1 A1 Rep1
A4321 Item4 A4 Rep4
A3214 Item3 A3 Rep3
A1234 Item1 A1 Rep1
A5432 Item5 A5 Rep5
A3214 Item3 A3 Rep3
A4433 Item2 No Rep Reqd

When I hit the print reports command button, I want to print of 1 copy of reports 1, 3, 4 and 5.

There is a separate report for each item - it isn't populated with any of the details from the form, it's just a standard piece of technical information (about the item) that is sent out with each order.

Is there a way to do this via code?

The form I'm trying to develop is to provide a quick way to have these reports printed off - within the database there around 70 of these standard reports, and an order could have any mix of them requiring to be sent....
 
sorry - should have said this is an Access97 database
