Forms :: Print Multiple Forms Or Reports From One Command?
Sep 23, 2014
I have forms that are printed based on a query parameter of [enter item number]. There are several of these forms that I would like to print at one time (with one command) making it easier for the user to gather their information at the beginning of the day. I also don't want to lose the ability to print them out individually as we do now.
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
I have 2 subforms embedded into one main form. Everything looks great on screen, and even when I hit the print preview button. But when I print the form out the 2 embedded forms will not print.
Like the title says I need a command button to print preview and email two reports. I tried using macros but the problem I have is that it'll send out two emails instead of one email with two attachments. The other problem is that it won't recognize current pages information so it'll show two blank reports. But If I go to next record and come back in form view, it reognizes the changes and the reports look fine. Any help would be appreciated.
I have been an MS Excel man all along my career and I am a novice in MS Access.I have created a table, [Initial Customer Approval] which records data from a Form, [Initial Customer Approval]. Once the data is entered in the Form, I need to do some calculations based on the data entered in some of the fields in the form.I created 6 different queries for the six possible values in those fields. now for each of those queries I created respective reports.I placed a Print command button in the Form.
1. When I press the Print button it should open the report for the current record in the Form. (Currently It Opens all the reports simulatneously, with only one relevant report containing the current record; other opened reports being blank.)
2. If user presses the Print button before pressing Save button then system should prompt user.
Here is the code (Please note [reference number] is the unique ID generated for each record entered in the tabe through form):
Private bSaveClicked As Boolean Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Not bSaveClicked Then MsgBox "You are trying to navigate away from the active record. Please either save your changes, or press ESC to cancel your changes.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation Cancel = True
I am working on a DB that will have multiple reports available. What I would like to do is to have a form that lists the reports available from a reports table. In other words, each detail line of the form will contain a report. I would like to have a button or link placed in the detail line that will open the report for that detail line when it is clicked. This will keep me from having to add a new line to a static form every time I add a report.
I have tried the DoCmd.OpenReport command, but it requires a report name, and I can't find where you can place a field name variable in the command line. I have tried other things I have seen here, but none have done the trick.
I have a typical Access 2007 database with a main form that has combo boxes that are populated by other tables. To edit or add to the combo boxes I have separate forms. When I make the changes I want the combo boxes to be refreshed. I would imagine I can do it with a FormName.Refresh command. However, I am curious if there is a command to refresh all forms and reports in case I have more than one form open with combo boxes that link to the changed data.
I have a problem printing a Subform that uses multiple criteria(in textboxes) as filters.
The search portion of the form works fine. The problem is I have created a report based on the subform and am using the following code to open/filter the report
Code: Private Sub PrintBtn_Click() Dim strCriterion As String Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String
Every month, I create 15 individual reports with each report filtered by two fields, let's say Dept and Exec. You change Dept and Exec via a combo box drop down based on a table, and this information is passed to the query behind the report. Now, I repeat this process for every report. I use an unbound form that gathers the "Title", which is the Dept Name +"Special Report"; report Date using "as of" [DATE], and an updated through [Second Date].
Each monthly set of reports is sent to a new directory and folder (i.e. M:MOR Reports2005January. This changes each month. Somehow, I'd like to automate this where each report prints with its name to a newly created folder in pdf format.
I have been reading prior posts and am coming up with some ideas like adding a "selected" field to the Dept/Exec table and then step through those selected records to determine which report you are running. It takes a long time to print these to pdf in a new directory every month.
how to print mutiple "invoice-records"..I want to print multiple times the same report but with different values ex. invoices (based on a query). I have the report and the queries ready but how can I automate this task?
I've narrowed my problem to a subreport that prints multiple copies of the report based on the number of items generated in the subreport.
i.e. If I have an instructor registered to teach three classes in the subreport, the main report will print three time (identical). An instructor with two classes will print twice (identical).
No button...just good old "print" how? why? where?
In access database we register the following fields:
Company name - Address - Artickle - Number of copies
We then want access to print a report with these informations, except for the number of copies, which should be the number of duplicates that is to be printed.
I have a class roster and need vba code to print a first day package of forms. I want them to print each person's package then move on to the next person until the roster has printed each person's package.
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
I have a Lost/Found property database which we use to keep record of the lost/found property and its working fine.
The database has one table and two forms.
One form (LostFoundForm) is visible to the user in which they enter data, this form has two sections; Item(s) & Finder's details and the second section is about Restoring details.
However the second form (ClaimReceiptForm) is hidden to the users (for manual data entry) and has only one section which is exactly the same as the first form's first section, i.e., Item(s) & Finder's details. This second form takes the data automatically from the first form because the table behind them is same and fields are same (please see attachment). Up to here it's all working fine.
I would like to introduce a Checkbox or a CommandButton in the LostFoundForm which when we click should pull up a msgbox asking "Do you want to print the receipt for this item(s)?" with a Yes/No option. On clicking "No" it should, obviously, settle down but on clicking "Yes" it should print the "corresponding record" from the ClaimReceiptForm.
I 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:
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.
I have created a command button that prints a report. The thing is that if the REPORT has no data, i want that the button is INVISIBLE. Is it possible to do this??
I am having a minor headache with a situation, I have a command button that opens a view of the report that will be printed. The problem is if someone creates a new record and hits the button it comes up blank.
If I add me.requery before the DoCmd statement then it just restarts to the very first record and shows that in the report view =(
Any Ideas? Thanks Guys!!
Private Sub PrintForm_cmdbutton_Click() On Error GoTo Err_PrintForm_cmdbutton_Click
I was implementing a "preview report" button to one of my forms that has a subform in it. To give you background, the form shows customer information, and the subform shows all invoices outstanding for a particular customer.
When I place the "preview report" button in the subform with where all the invoices are listed, its main goal is as the name says to preview the invoice that I have already setup (in report view). It prompts me with a "enter parameter" pop-up box with the line:
"Forms!FrmSalesInvoiceViewEditFINAL!invoice_id"
I have two questions:
1) How do I change "Forms!FrmSalesInvoiceViewEditFINAL!invoice_id" for it to say some other thing?
2) How do I have the pop-up box so that instead of prompting me to enter a parameter, that instead it "takes a value" from a textbook I designate and show up with the corresponding invoice.
For example:
when I click the "preview invoice" button, the corresponding invoice pops based on taking invoice number 2007001 (instead of asking me to input 2007001 as the parameter".
I am still trying to get a hang of development in access 2010.
I would like to design a form with a listbox or a combobox which holds all 8 of my reports (a table has all the reports), with a Print and a Preview view buttons. In addition, the user must be able to select if they want to view the report by month, quarter and the year in question.
How do i have a specific report print or previewed based on the value selected in the listbox or combobox and the date criteria.
I have a sub form that shows me a companies history. This subform is used on 2 different Parent forms. The record source for the sub form uses a criteria that looks at a companyID field on the parent to determine which records to return. My question is how do I have the query criteria depend on which form is currently opened? The criteria would look something like this:
[Forms]![frmCompanyHistory]![txtCompanyID] OR [Forms]![frmCompany_Project_Details]![txtCompanyID]
If I open the form with this criteria, I will be asked for a value in txtcompanyID for whatever parent form is not open. How do I properly do this without making multiple queries that are almost identical?
hey all, I am trying to load a print wizard after clicking on a command button. I am trying to use my filtered data to select specific fields to print. On the fly kind of report. I need to have the ability to use my filtered data to create a specific report. Any ideas?? Thanks
1- Open the Report called : ConsentForm 2- Print it to PDF printer (report is currently defaulted to that printer driver) 3- Save to folder: C:SOSConsentForms 4- Save as: Consent_[Last]_[First] (these are field names on the form) Result i.e.: C:SOSConsentFormsConsent_Doe_John 5- Then send the file by email (Outlook) to : abc@hotmail.com
