>>>>I am working on a program that consists of a grid. That is it, the program is just one grid. In this grid the user will see all work orders assigned to him/her. One of the columns of the grid will allow the user to print any of the work orders in the grid.

And the key is that I don't want to have two button - that is to take two columns - one for print, one for preview. In my initial test, I do the preview by using the doPDF driver installed on my PC. So, by choosing this driver, I can view without printing. But I do not want to "force" the customer to install a doPDF or some other driver that allows to convert a print to a PDF.

Koen,
What do you mean by "FP"? (ForPro or FoxyPreviewer?)
