I have a database which allows a user to open a report in preview mode. The user then has the option whether or not print it.
I am trying to use the report's timer event to automatically close the report after a predetemined period of inactivity as users have a habit of leaving reports open when they go home.
My attempts to date suggest that the report timer event does not fire in report preview mode. Can anybody confirm or refute this, please?
In a simple test I have set the timer interval to 5000 and created a timer event which merely displays a message using MsgBox. The MsgBox text is not being displayed which tells me that the Timer event is not firing.
All suggestions welcomed!
Regards, Tony.
