>>>I have a report that is a customer invoice. The user wants to preview the report then edit or add comments to a memo field before printing. What is a good strategy to use for this?

>>Obviously, preview window is not for editing. You can customize preview toolbar, removing print button, then in your code (after preview is closed) bring up some dialog with editbox to view/edit memo field (hopefully, you use one parent record and memo is part of it) and 'Print' button there. Hopefully, your users will accept it.

>I'd disagree with the strategy here, Ed. This sounds like an ideal situation for Word automation - build the report as a Word document, and then pop Word up to make changes as desired. Obviously, if the changes are to be recorded, the resulting Word document would have to be preserved, or the information parsed and stored so that it could be reproduced later.

I would not say that I offered 'strategy' here. My point was to show possible workaround. Not every report should be moved to Word.
