SYMPTOMS
While you are previewing an object in the Database window, if you click Print Preview on the File menu, the object closes.



CAUSE
In Microsoft Access, print preview mode is toggled either on or off. When you print preview an object, the button next to the Print Preview command on the File menu is pushed in. If you click Print Preview when it has a pushed-in button next to it, you are issuing a command to turn Print Preview off. Consequently, the object you are previewing closes.

NOTE: If you open a form, report, macro, or module in Design view, and then you print preview the object, when you click Print Preview on the File menu, the object returns to Design view. It does not close.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
 * 2) In the Database window, click Reports under Objects.
 * 3) Click the Catalog report, and then click the Print Preview button.
 * 4) Click Print Preview on the File menu. Note that the report closes.
