My VB application is printing access reports. The reports print in the background unknown to the user. I would like to display a message box while the print job is occurring for the user to see and to keep them from pressing print again until the print job has finished. Suggestions??? Thanks for all the help.
 
Just put a message at the beginning of the code stating that the document is printing and then at the end of the code put a message stating that the print job has been finished. Or you could bring up the printer dialog box and have the user print form there.
 
Yup, that's what I was going to suggest. Remember,
VISUAL BASIC triggers off of events.
