report view section "highlight" by clicking (1 Viewer)

Wysy · May 31, 2017

Hi,
I would like to ask You all how could i, if it is at all possible, avoid the report sections to be "highlighted" by clicking on it? I do not mean the alternate color. I mean if i click on a control the cursos starts blinking on it however if i click next to a control anywhere the corresponding section will change color from white (background color) to grey with red border.
thanks
Andrew

Reports are meant to view. Not for inter-acting with the users.

thanks for the reply. That is the point. I would like to have absolutely no interaction. However i do not find the way to achieve it. I would like to happen nothing it cursor hovers over.

This only happens in Design View or Layout View

Instead open the report in Print Preview mode :

Code:

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", acPrintPreview

or in Report view:

Code:

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", acViewReport

actually it happens only in report and print view

As you are probably aware, there are 4 different modes for reports.
Each has a different purpose.
However, for many of us, design view and print preview are all we normally use.

There is DEFINITELY no user interaction in Print Preview view.
That's the whole point of it!

In Report View, each section is indeed shaded if you CLICK on it
If you don't like that behaviour, then don't use it!
However, nothing happens if you hover over it.

In DESIGN view and LAYOUT view, the outline of each control is marked when you CLICK on it
Once again, nothing happens if you hover over each control

Actually i have the report in a navigationsubform where the report can be scrolled. That is where i wanted to avoid the hover over color change. I change the default view to print preview, but the behaviour did not change...

If you place a report in a form, it effectively becomes a form so behaves like one.

Similarly if you place a form in a report, its a 'report'
Etc ....
