Make preview mandatory. Then you know every time it is run it has been
previewed.

I don't think this can be done with the standard  Clarion report
previewer since I never use it. If you just want to know if the report
printed, CPCS or IceTips Print Previewer can tell you that. If you want
to know if they printed and how many pages they printed, IceTips does a
great job of that. Of course both of these are 3rd party solutions that
cost extra. I don't think you would be disapointed with either.
