My forms arn't printing properly

[scaryeye]

Yes i know your not meant to print forms but i need to

I have just created a form and when i print it, it only prints the data not
the borders of the text boxes, the colours ive used etc.
Why?
It looks fine in print preview.
It hasnt done it on previous databases - when I print a form from the
database I did last month it prints all the formatting too
AND.....i know it isnt the printer because ....again....when I print from
earlier databases the form prints comlete with formatting.

Which button have a pressed to make the formatting go away when printing?

You apparently already understand that forms in Access are for screen
display, and reports are for printed output.

A couple options you have are:
* Use the PrintOut command to print what's on the screen.
* See if you can convert a form to a report (then print the report).

Good luck!
