Take a look at Data Reports.

Much easier to display it in a small form, and then use PrintForm to print the actual form.

Sorry, where is the data reports?
If the data show in the form and use printform, does it just show what you can see on the screen, but not the all?Thank you.

Have them hit a DISPLAY RECORD button, which would load your form to be printed, and then include a PRINT or EXIT button for them to print it. (When they hit the PRINT button, you could then HIDE the buttons)

The form will print out exactly as it appears on screen, which means that it has to be small enough to print out correctly if displayed in a lower resolution.

You can even move the form around on the page, provided that it isn't too big to appear.

A report is overkill to print only one record.

I have a lot of rows in the data grid, printform just can print what be showed on the screen, can I print out all those data out just like the EXCEL in VB Form? means it maybe print out 2 pages or more
