<div>
As far as I know, there is no event that occurs only when printing to a printer. There is a &quot;Print&quot; event in the report's model, but that occurs when the report is opened and shown on screen.<br />
<br />
You could remove the built-in Access print methods and create your own custom toolbar that includes a Print comment, and you could then close the report after that. Be a pain, and honestly most users don't expect a document to disappear simply because it's printed.
