That would depend on how you - and your users - want the design of your application, how you want your application to look.

You can put the code to prepare and run a report in a PRG, in a form, in a menu item, or in a class.

Some options are more flexible than others. For example, what happens if your user selects a menu item? (Any command, it doesn't matter which.) You can put all required code into the menu item.

But now suppose that you want the same code to be executed when the user does something else - for example, click on a button, in a toolbar. In this case, it is easier to have a procedure (function) in a PRG, and call this procedure it both from the menu, and the Button.Click() (in the Toolbar).

Back to reports: In the system I created for Bata/Bolivia, most reports had an associated form. Sometimes, I used the same form for several related reports. In the form, the user could choose:

Destination (Preview / Print / Excel)

Page range

And quite often, several other options, relevant for the desired report. For example, options where the user can select a date range, or a specific client.

Then, the form has a button "OK", which will start the report. You can put the code to prepare the report (according to the selected options) and to print it in the Button.Click() event, or from a form method (which you call from the Click() event).
