Ah yes - the toolbar. I guess that can be used as long as the user doesn't explicitly close it before closing the actual peview window. At least it a good place to start and one I hadn't thought of.

Thanks David.

>>Is it possible to "recognize" that a print preview window is open from a global timer method? It doesn't show as a form in the _Screen.Forms collection, and it doesn't show up as WONTOP(). Note: This is a "generic" preview (no IN WINDOW WindowName) and no top-level forms are being used. Since the window name changes depending on the report, the FindWindow() API call doesn't seem to be useful.
