Is it possible to create a button that automatically saves a report as .pdf? And automatically generates the filename.
Like 0810-544 (0810 is the date and 544 is the ID from the form.)
The code below sets my printer to "Cute PDF writer" and then opens a report in print view, which creates a PDF version of my report. So far so good. But just before the last step, it brings up the Save As dialog box, asking for a filename and location.
Three points are important:I always want to call the PDF document "Specialty Report".I always want to save it to C:Documents and Settings80435 Desktop. I always want to overwrite the previous version.
Is there some code I can insert that would achieve this automatically with no further user interaction i.e. user clicks a button and the PDF file is created/overwritten?
Code:
'Produce the report
Dim defPrinter As String, NewPrinter As Printer
defPrinter = Application.Printer.DeviceName 'Get the default printer name
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers("CutePDF Writer") 'Create a new printer object
Set Application.Printer = NewPrinter 'Set the default printer to the new printer
DoCmd.OpenReport "Specialty Report", acViewPrint 'Open the report in print view (which will PDF it)
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers(defPrinter) 'Reset the printer back to the default printer
Recently I set up a button to export a report automatically to Excel using the following code: DoCmd.outputTo acOutput Report, "Report1", acFormat.xls, "J:Insurance DeptReport1.xls", True.This works great, however I was wondering 2 things:
1. How do you set up to transfer multiple reports using the same button. EG I have reports named Report2, Report3, etc how do I add these to the code to export as well?
2. Is it possible to have them transfer to the one file but different sheets. EG Report1 would go to sheet1, Report2 to sheet 2, report3 to sheet 3 and so on?
I need to automatically generate a 5-character value for my Business Key. Without any user interaction.
2 character -> from 01,02,03,04 to 05
+
3 character -> Sequential Number (001,002,003).
The Sequential Number must reset on each new day.

Hello,
I am trying to see if the following is possible. I have created a form in my database that tracks how many thank you letters I have sent out with a "check for yes" box.
On records where there is no check I want to create a button beside that says "Print Thank You Letter". It would then generate a form based on that certain customer's information.
Is there a way for me to do this? Also, will the report automatically generate that person's information found in the record?
Thanks,

I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am required to write a code that will allow me to generate a table at the click of a button. Is there such a thing?
The table name should be Table1, and it contains 7 columns.
First column: Auto number (PK)
Field1: Memo
Field2: Memo
Field3: Memo
Field4: Memo
Field5: Memo
Field6: Memo
I have a main form (Parent) along with a subform(Children). I want to have a button that generates a report with the Parent information as a header and the items in the subform as details. In addition, I want the report to show only the children that were recently added not all of the children.

I have generated a report in acviewreport, after viewing the details I want to save the report as a pdf file with the client name, invoice number and date. In the report design view I added a cmd button and successfully coded it. However, it saves the report WITH the cmd button showing. I don't want this button saved. Is it possible to remove the button from the report AFTER I have clicked it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo Access was unable to manage the amount of content that I needed to produce in a single report. The reports contain 12 charts/graphs all of which I needed on separate pages (one chart per page). As such I could not create large enough charts in access to fit to each page, as Access limits the amount of space one can use in a report.
I downloaded Microsoft Reports Builder 3.0 and built my reports as needed and can generate them as desired at current. I'm wondering if there a way to call that RDL file I created to generate my reports from a form control button in Access?
Is it possible to generate a report from 2 listboxes?
I have attached a pic of what I am trying to accomplish. I am wanting to have a report open with only the criteria that a user selects from the listboxes.
listbox 1: User selects a case number(s)
listbox 2: User selects the fields they would like in the report
So, if the user selects:
Case number: 13-001
Then selects fields:
Allegation
Incident date
Focus_Last name
This report would be:
Code:
Case Number Allegation Incident Date Focus_Last Name
13-001 DUI 06/01/2013 Doe

If you intend to renew the lease, terms and conditions will need to be submitted for ECC for approval (regardless of changes or not in lease rates). If the terms have yet to be confirmed, it is important to begin the negotiation process as soon as possible with a target to provide the ECC submission at least two months prior to the commencement date of the renewed lease. To ensure sufficient time for ECC approval before the contract expiry date, please prepare the ECC paper and obtain necessary endorsements. Submission details can be found here. The ECC submission template and PSD Questionnaire could be found from this link

Hi There
Looking to see if there is an easy solution to this problem I have.
I have a table which holds order information, the primary key for this table is orderID which is an autonumber.
The field in question is order number, which has a default value of "JJO"00000, which I have started manually at JJO10001, is there anyway i can get my database to automatically increment this number to save me from keep checking the last order number produced.
Lost count of the number of times I have gave the same order number to numerous customers.
Thanks
i want to create a system that generate number automatically using access.

I need to import 300+ individual .txt files into a MS Access DB table (named "tbl_input"). Each of the the .txt files have a naming convention similar to this:
Pink_Floyd_YYYYMMDD.txt
Because this initial import is so large and I would like to avoid doing it manually, I need to be able to:
import each of these files into a single table
delimit the text in each based on the "|" symbol
add the filename into an empty field
