Modules & VBA :: Printing Code Slowing Down Printing Reports?
Feb 25, 2014I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedForm Not Printing Anything
Apr 26, 2006I have a form with multiple subforms. When I hit print selected record I get a blank sheet of paper. What could be set to not allow the data or the background of the form to print?
If I just print the subform out by itsself it works good. However when I have the main form open then try to print I get blank pages.
I am sure someone changed a fairly small setting, but I do not know what has been changed. Thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPrinting A Report From A Form
Aug 30, 2006Hi
I'm pretty new to all of this. I've set up a simple database. I have a form in it for inputting information and then there is a command button on the bottom which prints out a report I've created with the information on it. This is all working great except it prints evey record and I only want the current record printed out.
I've tried the help and it goes into detail about OpenReport and PrintOut in macros. I have no idea what a macro is or what to do with it.
Can anybody please help me and give me step by step instructions as to how to print out only the current record in the report from the command button.
Your help is greatly appreciated:)
Printing A Form To A Report
Nov 1, 2006I have a form (entry screen to enter data) I then created a report in the layout I need for my order form. I want to creat a button that a user can press and it will print the current record to the report (order form layout)
Here is my current code for the print button on the form page:
Private Sub btnPrtOrderFrm_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptOrders2"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
End Sub
The only problem is when I tell it to print if I am on record number 2 on the form, it prints both record 1 and record 2. I only want the current record i am in to print. Any ideas much appreciated

Printing Form From Table
Dec 10, 2005Hello all- New here and working with a database for my boss. I did not create this rather am modifying it. I have a table (vehs) that contains information for three different departments regarding their vehicles. This database also has a form that prints (when clicked once) all of this data to the local printer. I need to make three sub forms to print similarly but just by department number (in other words only department 1's vehicle data) I'm not too big an access guru so if I need to supply any more data please let me know
Thanks,

Printing Form On One Page
Aug 22, 2006After having designed a series of forms, I have just been told that users would like to occasionally print the data.
On testing this, it seems that the data does not print onto 1 page.
Are there any settings to fit data to 1 page wide only?
Aternatively, is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps by using a report or something like that?
The form has a whole load of calculated fields (calculated control boxes with expressions) so would I run into any problems doing it ths way ?
Thanks.

Printing Report From Form
Jan 3, 2010I am able to print a report of all records from a command button on a form with
DoCmd.OpenReport "General Input Info", acViewPreview
I can also print just the current form to the report with

In other words, none of the records previous to the current form listed but do show the current record and all others after that as determined by the auto number ID field. I am able to filter by form in the ID field with >45 showing me all records with an ID of 46 and above but I want to be able simply print the report from the command button that is on the form.

Help With Printing Form With Linked Images, Please!
Jun 14, 2005Hi,
I have a form in my database that has two subforms, both of which I use to display images that are linked. This works great when I just flip though the records in Form view, but when I want to print off a certain page the images are not linked properly. Instead of showing the image associated with the unique record it previews/prints the images associated with the first record of my recordset.
Any ideas? Maybe there is something in the subform or form properties that I don't have set correctly. In a past visit to the forum I found an extremely helpful database posted (called ImageSample97) that I used to develop my form.
Thank you,

Carbon Copy Form Printing
Mar 27, 2006I have searched all over google for help on this one, so now I enlist help from the good folds at the MS Access Help Center...
I have been given the task of updating a particular form our company has been using for over 10 years. The form was originally created to print on color coded carbon copy form with 5 sheets of paper. The form gets printed via a dot matrix printer (which pounds thru all 5 sheets). At this time, the form is done in MS Access 97 - and simply prints all fields via the print command.
Certain sections of the form do not print on all copies because the carbon copy paper masks the fields. I.E. the bottom sheet does not show the 'bill to' information but all other copies do.
So, I was asked to make the existing form print to our standard Laser Jet printers - but to hide certain items per page. I have determined how to print the form 5 times by simply adding some basic VB code to a command button. What I can't figure out is how to hide certain fields as the old carbon copy form once did. I.E. Print the same page of a form 5 times, but each page has different information on it per page.
Any help would be appreciated - thanx
Stupid Form Printing Issue
Jun 11, 2006Before I start I just want to say that I know forms are not well suited to printing etc... but I have this stupid issue that is driving me nutzo.
I have a form with a subform on it but for some reason on the main form and the subform insist on printing on seperate pages, i have checked the force new page setting for each section and there are no page breaks that i can see? Don't seem to be able to find references to this issue anywhere...
Losing my mind... :confused:
Printing Report Without Refreshing The Form
Jul 27, 2006Okay, here is the situation that is slowly driving me crazy.Form: Clients ACTIVESubform: Clients ACTIVE - closureReport: Clients ACTIVE - closure (created by a save as by the subform)My database was created to keep track of clients in a centre. The clients files are eventually closed by a checkbox. Then a number of reasons are inputted in as for why the file is now closed by means of a combo box (lost contact, graduated, etc). After the files are closed, the users want to print a simple one-page report that they can put in their manual (paper) file. I created a subform that allows the users to preview what will be on the resulting report. I also created a button that they can click to print the report.NOW for the problem,The report will not show the new information (closed checkbox = yes, reason for closure, notes about closure, etc). I can't refresh because then the client no longer shows up in the form as it only includes ACTIVE aka open files aka Closed=No.Here is my coding for the button that I have:Private Sub Closure_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Printable_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Clients ACTIVE - closure" stLinkCriteria = "[StudentNumber]=" & "'" & Me![StudentNumber] & "'" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal, , stLinkCriteria Exit_Printable_Click: Exit SubErr_Printable_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Printable_ClickEnd SubHELP ANYONE??? :) My only idea is to do this is something like where is matches the student numbers, refreshes the form, and prints the report. BUT no matter where I put the refresh or requery command, it doesn't work. It ends up printing a blank report as it can not find the student number in the ACTIVE form as the client is now closed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPrinting Image Contact Form
Jun 9, 2007I created a print image form in my project so that when a user opens the form, it cycles through all the images stored in a temp folder and prints them out four images/page at a time until all the images have been cycled through. I am using the below code on the "OnCurrent" event of the form. The problem I am having is trying to close the form with code after the images have been cycled through. I get an error message stating that "this action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event" I guess it is caused by the form still being sent to print. How do I add a code to catch the event when the form has finished printing? Also, when I open the form by itself, it works correctly and prints all of the images. However, when I tried to use a switchboard to open the form, it prints the switchboard form. Please help me in correcting this. Thanks

General :: Printing A Form Into PDF Format
Jan 14, 2013New to Access. We have a existing database in use that has a minor glitch. The main form we use to add records to has a subform.

Mar 25, 2015So I created a form for the nursery at my church. It's set up so that they pick their child from a drop down menu (in a separate form), then a form opens up that brings up their child's information. I have a save and print button at the bottom, and I was able to set it up so that it does save the form and close it, but I can't figure out how to get it to print. I need to set it up so that the information displayed is all that is printed (not all the records like it keeps showing in print preview), and print it at a certain size (like a label). Everything I keep finding says to print from a report, but I have it set up as a form.

Jan 7, 2015 My Main Form is a Popup Window with print button for other subforms. So I have it set so when the Report opens it hides the Main Form, and I use the
Code:
DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, Reports(0).Name, True
do get focus to Report, and I run a loop just to make sure it does actually have focus and the Main Form does not have focus.On my PC It works great it prints the report every single time, but when my colleagues are using it... it prints the Main Form instead of the report. I don't get why it would work on my PC, but not work on someone elses?
Code:
Public Sub FocusOnReport()
Dim intState As Integer
Dim intCurrentType As Integer
Dim strCurrentName As String
[code]...
How can I make sure it prints the report and not the MainMenu
