Counting the number of times a report is previewed and the number of times printed.

Hi all,

I have a customer that requires a very secure application. I can do
everything they want except count report prints and previews.

Their application has to count the number of times :-
- Each report is previewed to the screen,
- The number of times the report is actually sent to a printer.

The count is to be recorded in a log with date,time, user, report name
etc.

I am thinking of making two copies of each report. One that can only
preview and the other that can only print to the printer. Then
counting once when either one is run. This means a parameter for every
report procedure to say which mode it is in.

Is there an easier way to get the count I require?

Is there any way to tell when a report has been printed from a
preview?

Any help would be appreciated.
