[firoz.raj]

Private Sub btPrint_Click() 
Dim frm As IspecialForm 
Set frm = Me.ActiveForm 
frm.GetTextBoxInvisible 
frm.Refresh 
'CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlPDReturnDC + cdlPDNoPageNums 
CommonDialog1.Action = 5 
CommonDialog1.PrinterDefault = True 
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True 
CommonDialog1.Orientation = cdlPortrait 
CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter 
frm.PrintForm 
Printer.EndDoc 
frm.SetStartDesign 
End Sub

[cguan_77]

how about adding an if statement like:

if CommonDialog1.CancelError = True  then
exit sub
end if

just a suggestion maybe other guys around here got a better solution :)

Goodluck!

Actually cguan_77 you are not far off...

Private Sub btPrint_Click() 

On Error GoTo btPrint_ClickError

Dim frm As IspecialForm 
Set frm = Me.ActiveForm 
frm.GetTextBoxInvisible 
frm.Refresh 
'CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlPDReturnDC + cdlPDNoPageNums 
CommonDialog1.Action = 5 
CommonDialog1.PrinterDefault = True 
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True 
CommonDialog1.Orientation = cdlPortrait 
CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter 
frm.PrintForm 
Printer.EndDoc 
frm.SetStartDesign 

Exit Sub
btPrint_ClickError:

If Err.Number = 32755 Then Exit Sub 'User Pressed Cancel

MsgBox "btPrint_Click " & Err.Number & ":" & Err.Description

End Sub

The reason it is still printing is because you had no error handler.

Good Luck
