When I print a report from Access, it prints fine. When a colleague does it to the same printer, it misses out lots of letters. Another colleague does it, and it prints fine. The font is standard (Calibri). My IT dept. say it isn't the printers fault. Is it something wrong with my report ?
View RepliesDear All:
I have created a from containing names and address. On This form I have a checkbox called "MailLetter" and a command button called "Sendletter".
I place a check in the box corresponding to specific people, then using a command button a letter is printed to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE CHECKED.
The letter is a Word document that resides on the desktop.
Here is the code behind a command button to print. Not sure if it is correct:
Private Sub Command2600_Click()
Dim WordObj
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordObj.Visible = True
WordObj.documents.Open "C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopLetter.doc"
End Sub
I assume this can be done through some sort of mail merge?
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Dion
I am getting an error message when printing a 2 part report. It does not appear until I have already printed the first part and I am ready to print the second. I have 6 users and all seem to experience intermittently with the exception of 1 who it is constant. The message is as follows;
"There isn't enough memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again."I have tried deleting the registry "KEY_ CURRENT_ USER SoftwareMicrosoftVBA" with no avail and have installed all available updates from MS.
I have report that i have in preview. In that report i have ribbon that has buttons close and print. Close works fine, with print it goes ok but when "printer selection" comes, i try to change printer it informs that not enough memory. All this code that is in ribbon buttons is in VBA.
What could be the reason for memory stuff or how could this be made that this inform wouldn't come.
Code below:
Sub EnnakkoMyButtonCallbackOnAction(control As IRibbonControl)
Select Case control.ID
Case "MyBtn1"
DoCmd.OpenReport "Tuotanto Ennakko", acViewPreview
[Code] ....
I've written an application in VB.Net and now I need to transfer the data on textboxes on a form to a report for printing. Only the data on the form is what I want to preview and print.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2010, though am also familiar with Access 2007. I have a listbox populated with a query (concatenated last and first names with a bound ID field that's invisible). One of my users asked if it would be possible to search the listbox by more than the first letter of the name. As it stands now, if you type Smith, the focus would go to the first name starting with the letter "H", rather than Smith.
I've spent a lot of time researching this and come to the conclusion that this functionality does not exist within a listbox. However, I've discovered, a popular suggestion is to change the listbox to a combobox, which has this functionality. Since my listbox is multiselect, that would not work for me.
When enforcing referential integrity, does access get angry about capital letters?Or just in general, if an address gets put in with a capital letter in one instance and then without in another does it make a difference?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe have a field of 7m records of varying length, some of which are numbers, some just letters, some alphanumeric, and most which include a dash, space or some sort of punctuation mark.
We need to replace all letters with "L", then replace all digits with "@".
We can replace characters individually using this update query:
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A","L")
But would like to use wildcard searches to resolve this, something like (these don't work!)...
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A-Z","L")
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"LIKE [*A-Z*]","L")
I have a listbox on a form that fills. It shows the field Keyword.
I use the rowsource to drive a report.
Me.LP1.RowSource = "SELECT TXMASTERS.Barcode, TXCLIPS.NNAME AS Name, TXCLIPS.Comments, " _
& "TXCLIPS.Start AS TimecodeIn, TXCLIPS.Duration, TXMASTERS.SportorSports AS Sport, " _

& "WHERE TXCLIPS.NName Like '*" & Replace(Me.LNAME11.Caption, "'", "''") & "*' " _
& "ORDER BY 1, TXMASTERS.BARCODE, TXCLIPS.Start"
On the report I have a textbox, with its source set as Keyword. However the box does not get filled.
I call the report from the form with:
DoCmd.OpenReport "COMPETITION", acViewPreview
In the report I have:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
Me.RecordSource = Forms!Newqueryform3!LP1.RowSource

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks
i have made a query.. when executed it returns 4 results..when i view the report however (made using the wizard based on that query) only 3 results are displayed..i then add a record to the database... the query returns 5 results.. and again the report only displays 4 results...i believe that the first record entered into the database is missing from the report.. but it is present in the query.. could i have accidentally deleted the first record from the report when i was altering the layout in design view??anyone come across this before?is there a general rule with reports based on queries that only display results with certain criteria or something??
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
The problem is when the users views a report there is no toolbar for them to print the report. The user can click on file print but they would prefer to see the icons on the toolbar.
I have set the startup to not show the toolbars I have also tried just to show each one individually with no joy.
How do I show the print preview toolbar. I do not want the user to be able to design the report I only want to allow them acccess to print the report or maybe export to word.
Any help I would be greatfull. Thanks PWF
hi,
I have a report that has a header,detail. The header is grouped on last name. Whenever I have names that are the same, two Smiths in a row, for example, I only get the first one. THen, I seem to only get partial information in my detail section. I've fooled around with the grouping properties , but I only make it worse. How do I make the second "Smith" appear? This must've been happening before, but I didn't notice it. Thanks so much.
I have a report that is fixed at one page for one record. However, there is a subreport with many transactions ("CanGrow"=No). If this goes to a new page I have to close the report and start a new one. This all works fine, except for the last transaction - if the second-to-last transaction record is at the bottom of a page then the last one does not print.
Access seems to format the data, then it realizes that it won't fit on the page so doesn't print it. I am using record id number to know which transaction record to start the next report on, so when it gets to the end my logic thinks it has reached the end as the id number is the last one in the set.
How can I know if the last record has printed or not?
Hi I am new to the forum. :)
I am creating an access database that holds customer information for a friend of mine. I am struggleing to think of ways to make Access do several tasks.
I have created several forms that display when reletive buttons are clicked and some run automatically using queries, one of which runs a query that displays any upcoming service inervals that are within thirty days of the current date, and allows the user to print a report that is designed to be a service notice for the relevant Customer/s which contains the customers address, phone numbers and service due date with a small pre-made text insert that advises the Customer about the upcoming service recommedation. The Form also provides the ability to print address labels for the same customers, making it quick and easy to send them out by post. The problem that I am having is that I would like the customers information that has already been printed to be removed or greyed out in someway so that the query does'nt print out duplicates but also have the ability to allow user control to reprint any result that may for any reason need reprinting.
Thanks for any help

Hi
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:)
I 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

Hi all, i'm having a rather annoying problem. When I view my report I have 2 sets of conditional formatting that run, one that changes the back colours of certain fileds when the criteria is meet, and the second, the text colour of certain fields, both of which work fine when previewing the report. However, when I print the report, any of the back colour in the preview does not print out but text colour does. If I print from another office programme i.e. Word, block colour is printed fine its just seems to not work in my access.
Please note that if the same report is printed from another computer, it prints fine.
Please does anyone have any idea on why this is happening and how to sort it. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.
I had made my own database for my own business.
I am trying to print a report from a form. Once i enter an order detail i finish off by printing a letter. At the moment we are doing this via a query by entering the order id.
I want to automate this so for the form record i am in i want a button to print a report for that record only.
I know this can be done as i rember doing this in college but i cant get my head round it at the moment.
Please help
Hi, Ive read all I can on forums and web and am still unable to print the current forms report using a command buttons on click. This is the code i have been playing with:
Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "Home_Oxygen_Report"
1. 'strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= Me!Home_Oxygen_Form!general_info.HospitalNumber"
2. strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= "" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & """
3. 'strWhere "[general_info.HospitalNumber]='" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewPreview, , strWhere
Number 3 gives the closest result but it prompts me to enter the primary key when i hit the command button but i need it to do this automatically. The primary key is a text box not number. Note that the primary key is HospitalNumeber of Table general_info (form and reports record source is query of many tables).
any help would be muchly appreciated!!

I inserted an image (jpg) in a report, it appears in PrintPreview, but not when I print it on my printer.
Please help me. I do not if the problem is with my printer or I'm doing something wrong when inserting the image.
update: It seems to work when printing from Print icon, but does not work when printing from File/Print menu. Is this a known bug?
Need how to help on printing reports in Access
Problem: I have a databse that is on a network at the office. My users are out in the field using mobile data computers linked to the network using verizon air cards (56.6 kbps modem). Whenever they want to print a report, since the front ends of the DB are on their computers and the back end is on the server, the mobile computer has to send the actual report from the computer over the air card to the server for printing. Each page takes 5-7 minutes before it prints at the office.
Question: Since the data resides in a table on the back end on the server, Is there a way to have the reports reside on the server as well and have the Mobile computers simply send a command to print the report from there so it's not having to send all that information over the incredbly slow air card? Or am I just going about this the wrong way altogether?
I'm not totally up to speed yet on all this computer lingo so please use little words (LOL).
I have a report with one sub-report. It previews correctly and prints correctly from my ACCDB. However, when I create an ACCDE, the sub-report previews correctly and then does not print. I have tried the following and none work: In the main report, deleted the links and changed the subreports record source.
Changed layout for print to no
Changed filter on empty matches to no
Moved everything from detail to page header.When I put code in the subreport to set a flag when loaded and queried that flag in the main report, the subreport never admitted to being loaded when run from the ACCDE (again works fine from the ACCDB).
I'd like to print out a report so that each record should be printed into an individual pdf file. When printing manually, record by record, I use an app called cuteprinter for converting reports into pdf. But that one needs saving path for each individual pdf file. What could I do if I'd like to make a series of record printing? Would there be a way of automatic generating path and file name for each record's print?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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

What I would like to do is print a report showing the current form and all the forms after that form. 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.
I have an Access Database installed on a server that is accessed remotely by numerous users. I have a button to print out a specific report. The problem is that in order for a user to print the report their print driver must be loaded on the server. Due to the number of users, and the numerous types of printers available, this is impractical. The current code on the button is currently:
Private Sub Command PrintReport Click()
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere ="[Property Number] = " & Me.[Property Number]
DoCmd.OpenReport "RESERVE REQUIREMENT REPORT", acViewNormal, ,strWhere
End Sub
I would like to know if there is some code that would send the report to PDF, so that any remote user could then print the report from PDF.
I have created query and all my values come into the table from the query fine.
When i then go and generate the report all of the boxes are there for the data but there is no data in them. For owner and Job Id all info is there but job name, Department and a few others there is no data in the boxes.
