Hi Dennis,

What Tracy said is exactly how we set up many of our forms. The top portion of the form is Search criteria, the bottom is grid. When the form loads, only Search and New buttons are available. User then filters the criteria and presses the search button. The resulting records are displayed in the grid and Edit and Delete buttons become available. When you edit the individual record, you can print the particular invoice (although in our case I don't think we have individual print button (but may be I don't remember a specific case). We do have a separate application here that handles reports.
