set values

I am creating a database for an IT helpdesk. I have created a report and i
want the table and the form that it is created from to update a field called
'printed' when I print the report. I have tried the set value function from
the onprint option but nithing works. Am I on the right line or am Idoing it
totally wrong? Please help.

Are you quite certain that you'll never have an "out of paper" situation, or
the printer will be out of toner, or you/someone will cancel a "print"?
Another approach would be to keep track of the data/rows you send to print,
then update those rows using a command button that says/does something like
"update these rows -- the print job actually worked!"
