Is it possible to load a preprinted form into a report and then populate the form with the report results?

I don't think so. CR basically displays data from the database...it doesn't write it to the database.

But if you are asking can I load a picture of the preprinted form into a report, and then add fields onto the report to appear to fill out the form, yes you can.

I haven't done it myself, but I have seen it done for 1099 forms. I believe the subject to look into is to underlay the controls.

Hope this leads to a solution

Yes, it will have to be an image, but then you can put fields on top of the image.

I hope this helps.
