eldarwin, Sure just set it's visible property to false when clicked and restore to to true when it's done it's work.

Large Form? You probably need to use the built in reports tools.

I included this control because it completes the set and old VB6ers were complaining about .Net not having it. BUT to be fair, Prininting forms is really not a great technique for both the reasons you see here..
