DoCmd.OpenReport (Access)

The OpenReport method carries out the OpenReport action in Visual Basic.

You can use the OpenReport method to open a report in Design view or Print Preview, or to print the report immediately. You can also restrict the records that are printed in the report. The maximum length of the WhereCondition argument is 32,768 characters (unlike the WhereCondition action argument in the Macro window, whose maximum length is 256 characters).
