Thanks Bruno but I cant see how that will work,
I have a number of reports which theoretically I can output as word
documents. I have a form with a list box that shows the reports. On pressing
the print button on the form, it adds code to the OnPrint sections of the
selectede report to initiate the output to Word routines. In order to output
the whole report to Word, the user has to go to the next page until they
reach the end. At that point I want to close the report. All the running
code is initiated by the printing process of the report. How can I detect
the end of the report and pass back control to the form that initiated the
proccess to do the The "DoCmd.Close acReport, me.Name, acSaveNo" on the
close event bit
Thanks
Phil

I.e. in preview mode the user presses PagDown?

I'm not sure to understand ok.
In any case if you are in the Form, you can't send
"DoCmd.Close acReport, me.Name, acSaveNo"
because Me.Name means, in the circumnstance,
the Form's Name.
Replace Me.Name with "ReportXXX" or a variable
containing the Report's Name.
In order to allow the Report's operations to
complete try adding DoEvents in your Form's
print button:
.............
.............
DoEvents
DoCmd.Close acReport, "ReportXXX", acSaveNo
Ciao
