Unbound fields won't print

U

This is odd. I have 3 forms, substats01, -02, and -03 as tabs on a tab
control form. Every text box on the forms is unbound, except for the
current date which is =now(). All the other text boxes are filled via VBA
code. On the screen, all is well. If I print any of the forms, all the text
boxes are blank except for current date. I know I could generate a report,
but there are a lot of calculations, which are working fine and show up fine
on the screen. I just want to print what's on the screen!! They printed OK
a couple of weeks ago, maybe before I added substats03 as a tab.
Any ideas, please?

Are those calculations in event code? If so, possibly the events don't fire
when you print, but do when you display.

I'm not a 'fan' of printing forms; I'd rather "Save as Report", modify the
Report, and print that, or just create a similar Report which is often
easier than save/modify..

Found a workaround. Shift-PrintScreen, then paste it into PaintShop Pro.
Paintshop prints it beautifully.
