Modules & VBA :: Command Button To Print Report To PDF And Email
Aug 9, 2013
A command button on a form that can:
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
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 VBA code for a Print Preview button on the main form that previews the current record in a separate Report using this code:
Code: Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click() Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[code]....
I use this Print Preview code on a Button in the Form Header. The Main form lists head of household information. I also have a tabbed control with three tabs that have SubForms for Address, Children and Contact details. The problem I have is that if any of the subforms are left blank I get a Run-Time Error '3021': No Current Record. If I Debug (press the button), it takes me straight to this line:
highlighted in Yellow.Anyone on my database must have an address, should have contact details and could have children. If any one of these is blank then the print preview will not work.I would like to know how to stop this error happening for blank records in my subforms.
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!!

I searched the forums, I downloaded sample datbases EmailA2K, example, and PrintCurrentRecord_Update however I cannot get my command button to fill the TO: with my customer email address. I have gotten lost in the code so I went with a send object macro. Maybe it's my internet service. I use Compu Serv which is a by-product of AOL. Can that be the problem? Anyway I don't understand code, I wish I did. I select send object as my action in my macro. I leave the object type and object name blank as well as the output format. In the To: I put = [email address]. In the subject I put "From CG" and the Edit Message is set as "no". When I click on the button it opens up my email provider but nothing is in the To:. I first tried to fill in the Object name and type and format and it attached the records in the form, I DO NOt want to do that. All I want is to have the Email Address be filled in the To: by clicking a button. I'm about 8 hours on this and a little on edge. I would like to get a good nights rest and not think asbout this anymore. Any Macro help would be great.
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
Right now, I have a contact database with email addresses, and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to implement a command button that when I click on it, it will do the action as clicking on a link that says
mailto:anyone@anyone.com
If I type the mailto: before the email address, and click on it, it will open the email message window, but I am looking for a way to have the user click on a button and then it opens the email message window.
I have set up a work order database. On the Work Order Submission form I have a command button that adds the record to the table. I also have a button to email the Submission Report. When the user fills out the form and clicks the Add button the record is added to the table. The user then has to scroll to have the record reappear in the form and then click the Email command button. This works fine but I want to make this a one click operation.
I have a filter on the report that will be emailed to limit the report to just the current record. The filter is: [ID] = Forms![WO Submission]![ID] where ID is the Primary Key for that record. If the record has not yet been added to the table and thus has no primary key, the report to be emailed will contain no record info. I'm thinking I may have to use a temporary table but I'm clueless about how to make that work. Any suggestions?
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 have created a form and housed in the form is a combo box that pulls info from managers I work with. I want to create a command button that I can click to send them an email. I have their information tabled and then have also converted that table into a form. I have their email address I just need to know how to properly code the command. I have no visual basic experience. I have had classes where I've coded in C++ and HTML but very limited.
After inputting data into a text box on a form i want to click on a command button which will open an email program and then put the text there so i can send it.
I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.
Private Sub Command60_Click() Dim MyDb As dao.Database Dim rsEmail As dao.Recordset Dim sToName As String Dim sSubject As String Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I have a database with several reports that get constantly printed, however I am having an issue with their display properties that sometimes cause errors.I need the report to come up on top of everything, maximized and with the menu bar available to allow for it to be printed or close it. The report window cannot have "minimize" or "restore" available to make sure nobody access any form behind it.
To achieve this in a form I generally use the modal property, however if I do this in a report I cannot get to the menu bar to print or close the print preview.Thinking that modal was out of the question, I went ahead and maximized the report on load and set its properties to the image attached. The db is then compiled (accde) and then distributed.
On my computer (it is being developed on my machine) the report loads fine (maximized) with no min, max or restore buttons and the print preview menu bar is shown with the print and close buttons available. See "My PC" image attached.On any other computer, the report opens up maximized but the report's restore and close buttons are enabled, however the print and close buttons on the print preview menu bar are greyed out. See "Other PC" image attached.Why the inconsistent behaviour when using the same front end?
I added a "print preview" button to a report that does just that, shows the print preview. The issue I'm having is that I can't do anything in Access after I click that button. Everything in Access seems to stop working, I can't click on anything with my mouse. the only thing that does anything is that i can move the report up and down with the up/down/left/right keys. If I click on a different application that isn't Access (i.e. excel, spotify, email, etc.) and then go back to it, everything works fine.
What I want to be able to do is have a button next to every client entry which the user can click. Once the button is clicked, I want the "person name" box in the report to be formatted to have a yellow background.The purpose of doing this is so after a couple of days when we come back to the report, we can easily see by the yellow background which people we have to follow up with.
I don't think conditional formatting will work because I have so many different "person names" in the report that it would go above the 3 rule limit, only solution in VBA.The button I created is called "Format", and this is the VBA code I have tried:
Private Sub Format_Click () Me.Person_Name.BackColor = vbYellow End Sub
I have a project which produces a report of names, addresses, etc. I added a print button to the form to send the report to the printer. The code is as follows:
Private Sub Command32_Click() Docmd.SetWarnings False 'Docmd.OpenReport "rptAddresses", acViewNormal Docmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint Docmd.SetWarnings True End Sub
Both alternatives in the code produce the same result described following.However, the printed report includes only the first 2 colums of about 10 of the 90 plus records. If I send to to a PDF, it works fine. If I do a print view on the screen ir looks fine.
I am facing a problem. i am very amateur at access. I want to design a form on which there is one combo box and one command button. If i made a selection from the combo box and clik on command button it should show all the details related to that particular selection (say Shop Order) on a report. I dont know how to link this things.
report may be like.. Shop Order Description Length Width Hight.. Ax12 xxxxxx xxx xxx xxx Ax 12 for a particular shop order selection there may be no. of parts that should show on. like an assembly thing. Suppose Shop order for a bag is A23 and its different parts are belt and chain... now SHOP Order description ...... A23 belt A23 Chain...
i hope i described my problem.. please do help if you can.. Thank you Hemendra
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'm trying to use a command button in a form to filter and open a report. I am able to get it to open the report, but I cannot get it to filter the report based on a combobox in the form. I've tried every combination of code I could think of and find. Here is what I currently have:
Code: Private Sub FilterReport_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "Report", acViewReport, "First Name='" & Me.FName & "'" End Sub
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.RecordSource = Me.FName End Sub
"FilterReport" = Form Button "Report" = Report "First Name" = Report Field "FName" = Form Combo Box
On this form, there is a text box for Quantity...At the end of the form, there will be a button that when pressed:The current record the data on the form is entered for is saved,A report is printed on a specific printer,I do not want the report to actual display,The number of copies it prints should be equal to what the quantity field indicates.I do have the report already created and the Quantity field is on the report (just not visible).Once this all happens, it should return the user to the form, that is blank, waiting for a new record entry.
I have a DB that holds multiple possible email responses, originally set up for just straight up create email based on this information. the Button to created the email works great. Now what I would like to be able to do is Click a 2nd button that instead of creating a new email, it would open a reply to the current opened email. I would still want to push the information to it like it does in the current new email button.
