Hello,
I have a table (named EFORMS) with one field which stores the names of reports.
I have cretaed a form (named FORM1) on which I have placed a listbox which has its source to the table EFORMS so that I can see the list of forms available in my database.
Each form has its source to a different query that get's its criteria from a txtbox placed on my FORM1.
I was thinking of placing some code to the double click event of my listbox so that once selected, users can automatically print the report.
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've created a simple listbox on a report in MS Access 2010 so that there are two options A or B. Default is option A and I am able to change that to option B when in Report View, but if I switch to Print Preview, the report is refreshed and value defaults back to A.I have done something similar with a check box connected to VBA, still wondering how to use a list box to print optional values.
I have a form with a list box, which lists all those registered for a student orientation. I then have a button to an unbound report which prints a registration worksheet. This report looks up the student's name, test scores, suggested courses based on those scores, and various other information from multiple tables, assigns them to variables, then to controls on the report. This is done in the On Open event of the report.
But it was designed to work for record highlighted. Which was fine until now. Now I'd like to take it one step further and have it go through the list from beginning to end, printing the report for each record in the list.
Maybe I am missing something simple, but I can't seem to pull it off. The closest I can get is getting it to print the first record n times.
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 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 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.
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.
...seems such a simple thing to do but I'm completly stuck. Everything I've found on the forum suggests alternatives to doing to above i.e. setting the query that produces the list to produce that report print directly but that wont work for this situation unfortunately.:eek:
Some background.... I have a form (lucky me) in which the user enters 3 category levels and a branch id, they click a button to generate a list of 50 random stock ids so they can be checked at the branch. A preview of the Stockid's (along with description and Stocklevels) is shown in a list on the form. The stock manager then needs to print the list box contents. If the query is re-run it will differ from what is shown in the list so I need to avoid this.
I have a database of subcontractors I use for bidding purposes. My estimator would like to be able to view the list and select which subs he wants to use on a particular job and then print the list so I can contact them. How do I do this?
After finding the way to see, open and delete files using listboxes, is there a way we can print a file stored on a C drive, by selecting it and writing a code to the double click event? Thanks.
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 have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period >Treatment >>Exclude individual? >>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?
I am in the process of trying to merge two large databases. I have four tables that really should be one to work in the new DB. I just need to be able to print a list of fields in each table so that I can work on the new combined structure before making the changes. I know I can use the documenter but this produces a very comprehensive list which is much more than I need. Is there anyway of producing a similar list without the detail, just showing the field names.
Hi. I have a problem but not sure if I can do what I want to. I have 7 daily reports that are based on different queries but want to be able to print all 7 at the same time using only one command button, but I also want to be able to have all seven run using a week commencing date entered into a parameter or something similar when the print button is pressed.
I have a little print problem I have a student database with student code, addresses, names etc. Because there are so many records i nedd to print them in batches of 100 i did select top 100 but i have duplicates Is there a way where before a reports gets printed to check to see if its a duplicate to print only one. thanks
I have used a report wizard to create invoice format.Currently, when I run the report, it will generate all the other invoices continously (a bit like a continuous long roll of of toilet paper). However, I only need to print a particular invoice at a time.
1. How do I only print a particular invoice number, without having all the rest to be generated?
2. Is there a way to format the report settings into the print button on the form to print this particular invoice, where the form is showing the record?
I have a dropdown list of reports that is supplied by table. I also have listbox that are populate by another table. I want to be able to run the reports from the dropdown and from the listbox ....whatever the selection is to pull that info from the report and display.
I do not have the privileges to write code, but can use macros and Expression builder. I have written a bunch of queries and made reports for each of them. What I want to do is to be able to choose from the list of reports and view the chosen one. If that cannot be done without code, then to choose from a list of queries and then view the report made from the query. The user needs to be able to choose.
I am trying to print from a form to a report. The problem I am running into is I am getting a long report and I have discovered I have basically the same number of pages in my report as I have entries in my subform. If I have one entry in my subform I get a 1 page report. If I have 2 entries in my subform, I get 2 pages in my report and they look exactly the same. What am I doing wrong?
When the report print preview shows up, the entire print preview bar is visible but greyed out, so nothing can be selected. When the user clicks on the report to zoom in, then the buttons become available and the user can print. At that point the user selects the printer and prints the document.They all share a networked back end and a locally installed front end (same version for everyone)
