Re: Access 2007: Report formatting different than Print Preview

[Allen Browne]

Report view is a new view in Access 2007. It is designed to make the report
data more accessible on screen. It doesn't try to lay out the pages for
printing the way Print Preview does.

There are lots of other significant differences as well, e.g. any code in
the report's events doesn't run in Report view. Just thing of them as Access
providing you with a couple of different ways to view the report. Rather
than expect them to be the same, choose the one that meets your needs.
