I'm not sure if this is possible in Access, but I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run an Update query when a report is printed.
More specifically, I have confirmation reports, and I want the date printed and confirmation sent fields to be updated upon printing. I have an update query ready, but because I'm not going to be the person actually doing the work, I'd like the update query to be run automatically.
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:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
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.
How can I print a report and at the same time programatically set the printer name and 'Print to File' option and set the path of this option?

I've a database with patient information. The database is structured in the following way:
tblPatients - patient information
tblVisits - visit information (one patient can have many visits)
tblInfo - extra information related to a visit
tblTreatment1 - treatment1 (linked to a visit)
tblTreatment2 - treatment2 (linked to a visit)
+ a couple of dozen minor tables and subtables
What I need is to be able to print out a patient record with all the information related to the patient in question. A patient may have one or more visits, and one visit may include one or more treatments or several instances of one treatment. A visit may or may not have some extra information on tblInfo (etc.)
Tables are linked to each other via key fields in a normal way. (= tblVisits is linked to tblPatients via patientID field, and tblTreatment1 is linked to tblVisits via visitID field etc.) All keys of the main tables are auto numbers.
My question is: how to gather this information from the tables? This seems to be too complex for Access's report wizard to accomplish. My Access Bible -book advices to create a query to collect all the information first, but I'm having problems with this, too. One problem is that not all tables have information related to a certain patient, or one patient can have more than one record in (eg.) tblVisits.
What do you suggest? I'm starting to think it would be best to write a query directly in SQL and base a report on that query. Could you give me some advice as to where to start and how to create the SQL statements? I hope I can work out the details myself, but a general advice would be most helpful.
Thanks,

I want to have Access run a query, open a report, and print the report based on the ID number of the form that I have open. Is this possible?
The situation would be, I have a form that uses the the primary key as a record number. After I enter the data into the form, with the form open I want to add a button to open and print a report of the current record number.
Hello everyone,
How can i have a form with a "Print" button on it for print a report instead of going to file, print?
I will appreciate if a sample of such database can also be attached.
Stay well.
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 report that opens from a command button on a form. The settings on the report are set to pop-up and modal to keep the focus on the report until closed. I like the settings as they are but I need to print the report once it pops up. As the settings go, I cannot access or use the toolbars to print the report. How can I print the report from the pop-up, modal view? :mad:
Thank you in advance for all your help
Is there a way to print a report from a form by using VBA or a macro? If so how can this be done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is dependent on the content of a single text box (a student's name). I would like to be able to select multiple names from a listbox and loop through those names to print the reports. So far, no success.
I believe that if I could pass the name of the student during the loop to the text box, the report would print properly.
Below is an attempt to pass the names in the listbox to the textbox.
Set frm = Forms![Student Reports]
Set ctl = frm![lstStudentNames]
For Each vItem In ctl.ItemsSelected
Me.txtCurrentStudentName = ctl.ItemsSelected
Next v Item
Obviously this is not correct. Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have a form which records the progress of a complaint investigation. There are 3 reports I would like to run from this form using command buttons. They are report_long (shows all activity) report_short (summary) and logsheet.
The primary key is complt#.
How do I ensure that the complaint being printed is the complt# I have on the form?
Please bear with my ramblings, but I’m not sure what you may find relevant.
I am currently doing work for a service company where the employees are required to wear the company’s uniform. When someone joins the company they are required to purchase their own uniform. After a year, the company buys the replacement uniform. Each year on the anniversary date, the employee is given their annual evaluation. At that time they are given a requisition to go to the uniform supplier for new uniform articles.
Each item in the uniform has a life span. For example, shirts and pants are replaced each year, winter coats and spring/fall coats are replaced every three years, caps every two years etc.
I have a form which lists the item no., description and cost of each item and when they are due to be replaced. For example
Winter coat last replaced on 2003/11/10, replacement date is calculated to 2006/11/10
When this employee has his evaluation this November, he will be entitled to a new winter coat. The calculations are done by clicking an option button beside the item on the form. Clicking replaces the issue date with Date() and adds three years to the issue date using DateAdd for a new replacement date. Clicking the button also indicates that the item is to be replaced.
NOW, I have all this working.
What I would like to do is find some way of printing the requisition from this form before closing it. Something along the lines of:
If Option1 is yes
Print this item on the requisition
Endif
And do this on every item on the form, if it’s yes, print it on the requisition, if its no ignore it.
The option buttons are not part of the underlying tables or query only part of the form.
If I’m doing this backwards, please let me know. I’m well ahead of my deadline.
I have a form and the information on the form is displayed in a report so the user can print it out.
I have placed a command button on the form so that when you press the button you can print the report.
I was wondering if there was a way how i could just get it to print of the specific page i was on at the time.
Thanks for any help
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I have two tables, staff_table and salary_table.
Staff_table has the following fields,
Staff_ID, Staff_FN, Staff_LN,...
Salary_table has the following fields,
Sal_ID, Staff_ID, Sal_Date, Pay_Amt,...
In the salary form, i have a listbox that shows records of the joining of the two tables, because i'd like to be able to show the FirstName and LastName of staff. So Staff_table is joined to Salary_table via Staff_ID.
And also, in the form, i have a button to print out whatever's listed out in the listbox. It also has a combobox that is to filter the records by Staff_ID.
The salary report is created using the query named QSalary. QSalary is as a result of the joining of the two tables, Staff and Salary.
I hope i haven't lost you this far.
What doesn't work is when i filter by the Staff_ID of 10(michael), i can see there are a few number of records shown just for michael and i want to have them printed out on the report but it doesn't work. it shows the whole records in the salary table.
Here is my code
nlist = Me.LB_Salarylist.ListCount
For ncount = 0 To nlist - 1
stlinkcriteria = ",'" & Me.LB_Salarylist.ItemData(ncount) & "'" & stlinkcriteria
Next ncount
If Len(stlinkcriteria) > 0 Then
stlinkcriteria = "[QSalary.Sal_ID] In (" & Mid(stlinkcriteria, 2) & ")"
' i have tried [Sal_ID] and [Salary_table.Sal_ID], none of them work.
End If
stDocName = "Salary_SumReport" ' for producing salary summary report
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
I have a report based on a form and when I view the report in print preview, part of it has been truncated. I have attached a screenshot of it. Is there a better way for me to print the form other than as a report? If not, how do I show the entire report without leaving out any part of it?
Thanks a lot

Hope someone can give me some pointers. I have a report for a delivery ticket this prints customers address + delivery ticket number. Below this heading it list all the items associated with that delivery number.
What I would like to have it do is print one copy of the report on the top half of an A4 sheet of paper and then Print the same copy on the bottom of the A4 sheet.
This would give me top half copy as delivery copy and bottom half copy as customers copy. The sheet would be perforated across the middle to allow the driver to tear the sheet in half and leave the customer with their copy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Hello there,
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".
Thanks in advance!
I am using the following dialog box to ask whether or not the user wants to print the report in the Close event of a report. I really need help finishing the code.

Msg = "Print the Report?"
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion
Title = "Report"
Help = "DEMO.HLP"
Ctxt = 5000
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt)
If Response = vbYes Then

Hello,
I have a time and billing database that contains a form where the user enters a beginning date and an end date and then must enter an invoice number. All this information will appear in the header of a report. The invoice number will always be different. How can I get the invoice number to print on the report? The beginning and ending date is working just fine, but I can't get the invoice number to print. I think I need to have whatever number is entered to be temporarily stored to a table, but I am not sure at all. I would appreciate any help given.
Thanks.
