I have a form with a button to print of the contents of the form in a report.
I have set it that when the user close the form they can no longer access what they have entered. Therefore on close of the form i would like to check to see if the user has printed the report and is happy to make changes else he can cancel and make the changes required.
Is this possible?
I have a form open, but want to print only specific fields in each record. Been trying lots of filtering methods to no avail as I am a novice at filtering.
I can filter records, but cant figure out how to filter specific fields from those records.
My project goes something like this:
Each record in my form consists of listed items like on an invoice. However, not all the items on any given invoice will be printed. Therefore, I set up checkboxes beside each line, so for each invoice, I only tick the items I want to be printed from that invoice. However, I just cannot yet find a way to print the selected items.
I was wondering if there was a way to use check boxes in a form to have certain text print out. It's part of an invoice type form and there are 4 different treatments that could have been part of the appointment and the goal is to have a way to check the treatments for that appointment and only have the checked ones print out..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which my company wanted that each single record should be printed from form. I made a print record button and put code to print single page or record. However as a natural habit people go to file > print to print which leads printing all records so 1000's records start printing. Is there any way i can hide print button. File >Print button.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.
how can i make a image appear in my form when there is a check in the check box from the table?

I'm in need a of a check-in/check-out application for my company. We have about 550-600 employees at any given time and our turnover is about 20-30% per year. Our check-in/check-out process requires our employees to personally visit between 30-40 areas in our company (personnel, safety, credentials, parking, insurance, etc) within the first month of employment. This is currently done manually and is a huge drain on labor, especially when check-in sheets are lost, misplaced or, in some cases, forged.
I'm looking to build a database that would be intranet based, password secure (by check-in area) that would allow the new employee to present at a particular check-in, check-out site, complete that portion of the check-in/out process and then allow the person responsible for the check-in/out to enter the status into the database. At any point in the process, I would want to know the status of the person checking in/out (how long they've been checking in/out and what portion of the process have they completed).
Can this be done in ACCESS?
Thanks
Hi
I have sendkey "{f7}" on loss focus.
this works great as a spell check but then I get the mesage box that spell check is complete.
How do I stop this box from occuring?

I used to be able to create PDFs, automatically save them to a file,
and mail them out to people. This was on Access 97 with Windows NT.
We've changed to Windows XP and Access 2003. Doesn't work anymore.
Part of the problem is that the users have no access to the registry
and can only save files on the C: drive to their My Documents folder.
I found this code on the web, but it doesn't work either. The files
continue to print out of my printer instead of making a PDF. I put the
entire code at the bottom, but here is the part I'm calling:
Public Sub SaveReportAsPDF(strReportName As String, Optional strPath As String)

strPath = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
OpenFile:=False, _
Filter:=strFilter, _

End If

Hi!
I would like to print a table including subdatasheets in Access. However, in Access 2002 it collapses them, and closes the table when I click on Print Preview. (In Access 2000 it works.)
Any ideas?
Hello!
I would like to be able to print a specified form when a new record is added to my database.
I have an add form which can be filled in, and there is an "Add" button at the bottom of the page, when this is clicked, I want the record to be added but also a specified form to be printed named "frmKitChecklist".
As I am a VB noob I do not know the code to do this, please could someone help me!
Thanks :)
I have the following problem:The print button in access was associated with the default printer, but for some reason know there is no printer associated with it. If I click on it nothing happens. Also if i go through File->Print no screen pops up. Can anyone help me with this problem.TIA,Roda

Is there an easy way to printout a form in disignview so the fieldnames appear in the inputboxes? I've a form with 11 tabs and on each tab at least 10 input boxes (10x11 = 110 boxes :eek: ) Writing down the names on a printout is NOT effective
Thnx
I ned to create a form that asks the user which reports they want to preview/print. I see it as a set of tick boxes with one saying all, then a print button. Im not really sure though, can someone offer some advise or maybe an example?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, (sorry to be cross-posting, but I didn't get any response from Modules and VBA)
I've messed something up, I think. But I'm not sure if I messed up VB or some connection in Access.
The Symptoms: I've got a print page with checkboxes that represent other form pages in my db.
The page basically prints ok, except where field information is supposed to be.
Wherever there should be field info, it prints #Name? instead. Each field can't seem to find it's info.
The funny thing is that the information displays correctly in the form onscreen.
Just not when I print.
Basically someone else wrote the the Print code and I've been hacking away to make this code work for 3 new forms (e.g. 3 new checkboxes).
While I'm not terribly familiar with VB, I know my way around script and I'm pretty sure I haven't really messed up that code.
How I got there:
At one point in my building of this thing, every time I went to open the 'print' page, I would get an error and drop into VB.
Well, this was driving me nuts, and at that point I hadn't altered the code. I was just trying to view the print page. So, I cleverly pasted into VB the code from an earlier version of the db. This cleared up the debug error nicely, and I was able to finish the code that would allow me to choose 3 new pages to print. But now it's doing the symptom above.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Guys,
I have searched and searched for this on the forum but to no avail. :(
I have just installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and so can create PDFs. Does anyone know the code I need for a button on a form to print a report to PDF format?
Many thanks,
Rusty
:D
First I should say that this is my first post, and I'm very new to this. Now on to my problem. We have a form with a bunch (like 25) of buttons that are links to specific reports. When you click on one of the buttons the report opens up along with a little pop up form with a print button on it. How can I get this print button to print the report that is open? Do I have to put in code for every possible report that may be open, or can I just say "print the current report" somehow?
Thanks,
Nick Jones
I have a control on a form where a user inputs a number then presses enter. The AfterUpdate event prints a report. The problem is that it prints the previous record each time its updated. I want to print the current record. Maybe some type of requery before the event happens. Any ideas?
