Printing form with tab controls

[ms1202]

I have a form that is split into three pages by tab controls but when I click print it only prints the first page. How do I make it print all three pages?

Why do you want to print the form?

Forms aren't really meant for printing, you should use reports instead.

Click Print while the first tab is selected. Then select the second tab, click print again, then select the 3rd tab and click on print one last time. But, then again, why would you want to print a form? I could see printing a form during development because I can't remember much any more, and a printout really helps me. But if it is for an operational thing, Norie has the correct responds, "You should us reports instead.

Thanks, that's done the job. Access seems a lot harder to just pick up and teach to yourself than Excel! I guess I need to practice more!

If you are new to Access, and therefore databases, please read this. To have a database work will, be able to use it effectively, and not always be fighting with it, you need to learn to normalize the data.
