Event triggered *after* actual printing?

[Sidat de Silva]

The records in a table of my database need to indicate whether they've
been printed out. I have a report that creates a full-page printout per
record, so each page printed out means one record printed. I have a
Yes/No field that can be manually ticked (checked) after its record is
printed. But this is error-prone and inconvenient.

My problem is that I want to distinguish between a page that's
print-previewed and one that's actually printed. That is, I don't want a
record marked as printed if it's only been through a preview.

Is there any value I can test for in the Detail_Print event to see if
it's an actual print? Or should I use a different approach?

Thanks,
Sidat.

Hi Sidat,

If memory serves, in an earlier thread over in comp.databases.ms-access,
it was reported that the Activate/Deactivate events do not occur in print
mode. Try using a report level flag which you then set to true/false from
these events.
