On all other systems these reports print out fine.
I just set up this reporting system on a new computer and when I print, the reports print on two pages - second page had a tid bit of an order date.
On the other systems, all the page margins ( top, bottom, left & right ) are set to .25" and the column width is set to 8".
I also receive this message upon running the report: The section width is greater then the page width, and there are no items in the additional space, so some pages may be blank.
If I manually move this Order Date field over it does not properly print in the Order Date box on the form fed document.
This report is printed to a OKI Microline 320 Turbo 9 pin dot matrix printer.
All my margins are at .25" EXCEPT for the right margin, which is at .416" ... WHICH I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE!! Why?
I have reinstalled the proper drivers for this printer and have up to Office SR-2 installed.
Why am I unable to change the right margin to .25", if all the other systems have this setting?
Any suggestions are muchly appreciated, as I am seriously frustrated with this situation .... if I have left out any pertinent info .. please send your questions my way ....
Is it possible to do conditional formating after a page break?
I have been given someone elses mess to clean up. It is a massive procedure which runs dozens of queries, then formats the results and pastes them into a word file at given bookmarks
For most tables there is one record for each lake. However there are several where many entries per lake. The logic being applied is that the font colour for the column is made white, then for each first instance of a lake name the font colour for that cell is made black again.
The problem is there are many times were the first row of data on a new page is not the first record for a particular lake making the reader have to flip back to the previous page to double check which lake they are looking at data for.
So what I want to do is leave the existing logic, and just add turning additional cell's (Column 1, after a page break) font colour back to black.
I need to print data on a pre-printed letter-sized piece of paper that will be cut horizontally into three identical 8.5" x 3.667" forms.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to format a report to get the data in the right spots. I've tried messing with the margins, height of the detail area, columns...everything I can think of. It seems I can get the data to print in the right spot on the top form but neither of the other forms and/or on the top two but not on the bottom at all.
Is it possible to change the formatting on different switchboard pages? For example, if I want to use a different color scheme on different pages of the same switchboard. So far, it seems like the changes you make to the switchboard design apply to all pages. Any way to change this?
I am working on adding a layer of security to my current DB. I've got usernames and passwords set up, along with access info (controlling what aspects of my DB certain users are able to interact with)....
I've managed to disable the navigation pane and ribbon for most users (only me and another user will have access) and now i want to try and disable editing....
Cannot find any VBA coding online to allow me to prevent people from editing forms/reports/queries in Design or Layout view.... How this can be accomplished?
Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?
Is there any way to change orientation of report in report footer? I mean, I want to produce report header, detail etc in landscape and after detail I have given page break, at last page only report footer should be in portrait.
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.

I have a form that nearly fills an a4 sheet of paper when printed. For this reason I have to set the margins from 24.99 down to 5.
This is ok and the form works well and prints out properly about 75% of the time. Occasionaly when I open the form it has reverted back to the 24.99 margins which of course prints out on three sheets of paper and is all over the place.
Is ther a way to set the margins on load and can anyone suggest an appropriate bit of code.
I want to print a page with .5 magin instead of the typical 1 inch. I am using access 2000, so i can not use printer.leftmargin. Is there a way i can do this through code somehow instead of going into page setup on each users computer? If the page margin is set to larger than 1" it will print on 2 pages.
Anyone have any suggestions on whare to start? All i can find is how to adjust page margins in a report. Or with a later version of access.
I have an annoyance!!! I have a few reports in the access database that I'd like to hard code the print margins so that when I send any database updates to users that have different printers, the margins all come out the same. So that I don't have to then go to each computer I've updated the database on, to open each report and reset the correct print margins.
Another annoyance - along the same lines: A report that previews correctly several times and then - for no reason, previews with larger margins and, hence, data is lost off the right.
I design/maintain an Access database for a friend's business using my home computer. The printer he uses allows for much smaller margins than mine does, so anytime I edit a specific report that uses very small margins, my computer automatically increases them to the minimum margins my printer allows and when the business owner runs the report on his computer it spills on to extra pages.
Right now every time I make a change, I need to go directly to his computer and adjust the margins within the report after the new front end is uploaded.Is there any way around this, such as telling Access to ignore the printer's minimum margins?
I am having a problem setting the margins to print labels in access. I go to page setup and change the margin size click ok and nothing happens to the label and when I go back to page setup the margins have returned to their original values. I have already selected the label printer and labels that im using.So im baffled as to why it wont accept margin values that don't cause the label to be printed over 3 labels.
Access 2007 RUNTIME.I have 2 different printers, 1 for invoices A5 & one for general use A4.
I use
[URL]
and can change printers & some stuff but can't change margins.
Is there a way to change these margins via VBA that can be set in RUNTIME.
Like now, I have just had thousands of invoices pre-printed layout but the company managed to move the margin 5mm over so I have to program my MDB reports to reflect that.
I'm using VBA to insert the page number in a header. It's working, exept for a couple of things. I want it to insert the page number at the current position, and restart numbering at each section. I increment the section # with the variable x. Currently, it's inserting the page number at top-left of header. I want it to insert the page number after the word "Page" followed by 2 lines breaks.
I have a button on a access database form that runs a query and exports the data to an excel sheet that remains open. I am ok with this. What I would like to do now is format the sheet and then save it as a file name that is the same as the query name but adding the date at the end. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub Command1_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command1_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Qry_SentForProcessing" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit DoCmd.RunSavedImportExport "Export-Qry_SentForProcessing"
[code]....
I just want to add the code to this button. Or do I need to write a function as a module, then call the function after the export is run.
I created a form that applies conditional formats depending on a field. It works fine, until you enter data into one of the conditionally formatted fields, then all hell breaks loose. Conditional formats totally go away and the cells go to #error.
