    Bug: print preview in form datasheet with server filter on crashes access (ADP A2002 SP3)

    I've discovered:

    Using "File > Print Preview" in a form's datasheet view with a server Filter
    crashes access after previewing...

    ....that is, unless ServerFilterByF orm has been turned off after applying the
    filter.

    See the steps to recreate bug below for details.

    I'm looking for a workaround. Possibly some way to trap the print preview
    event prior to execution and (temporarily?) reset ServerFilterByF orm to
    'no'...???

    Please don't say "don't use print or print preview with datasheets". I'm
    (semi) intent upon allow my users to print out a list of whatever they can
    compose on their screen.


    Thanks for any help,

    Steps to recreate bug:

    While using Access version 2002 SP 3

    While running access 2002 SP3
    Create a new ADP against Northwind database
    Use the form wizard to create a new datasheet form against the Cataegories
    table (or any table, probably)
    Edit the form properties to set "Server Filter By Form" = yes
    Open the form and notice the window title is "Categories : Server Filter By
    Form"
    Compose a search and "Apply Server Filter"
    OPTIONAL: Use the form wizard to set "Server Filter By Form" = no
    Select "File > Print Preview"
    Hit 'escape' to dismiss the preview


    Whoa! If you did NOT take the optional step above, you are returned to the
    form as though it were collecting a new server filter as indicated by the
    window title being "Categories : Server Filter By Form". However, the
    problem is worse becuase access then crashes.

    If you DID take the optional step (oh, wise one) then you are returned to
    the filtered selection of records.
