Print Current
Jun 23, 2005
I have a control on a form where a user inputs a number then presses enter. The AfterUpdate event prints a report. The problem is that it prints the previous record each time its updated. I want to print the current record. Maybe some type of requery before the event happens. Any ideas?

I have a DB in Access 2007 which I'm having trouble with. I have a form, "Sub_Det_Frm", on which I would like to place a button to print the current record, (Primary Key is an autonumber "Employee Number") to a report "Sub_DetForm_Rpt".
I've used the instructions from, oops I can't show you the link! It's h(double t)p(colon)//allenbrowne(dot)com/casu-15(dot)html but I'm getting this error:
The expression On Click you entered as the property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Employee Details was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
This error occurs when an event has failed to run because Microsoft Office Access cannot evaluate the location of the logic for the event. For example, if the OnOpen property of a form is set to =[Field], this error occurs because Access expects a macro or event name to run when the event is fired.

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
[code]...

What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..

The code below does not give me any error. I do get a file save dialog box and i put the file name and a message saying export is done. but in reality there is no pdf file saved under what ever directory i told the system to save...
Public Sub Print2PDF(strReportName As String, Optional strPath As String)
Dim stDocName As String, strFilter As String
Dim Distiller As ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller
'InputPSFile - path to existing PS file in c: emp
'OutputPDFFile - path of PDF file to be created in c: emp
'2 lines of code:
'ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistillerClass Distiller=new ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistillerClass();
'Distiller.FileToPDF(InputPSFile, OutputPDFFile,"");
Set Distiller = CreateObject("PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller.1")
Distiller.bSpoolJobs = False
Distiller.bShowWindow = False
ITransform_Transform = False
'Ask for the path if it is not provided
If Trim(strPath) = "" Then
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, "Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf)", "*.pdf")
strPath = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
OpenFile:=False, _
Filter:=strFilter, _
flags:=ahtOFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT Or ahtOFN_READONLY)
End If
'If Distiller.FileToPDF(pFromFile, pToFile, "") Then
'If Distiller.FileToPDF("strReportName.ps", "", "") Then
Distiller.FileToPDF "strReportName.ps", "", ""
'Distiller.FileToPDF OutputDir & "" & ps, OutputDir & "" & pdf, ""
' ITransform_Transform = True
'End If
Set Distiller = Nothing

I used to be able to create PDFs, automatically save them to a file,
and mail them out to people. This was on Access 97 with Windows NT.
We've changed to Windows XP and Access 2003. Doesn't work anymore.
Part of the problem is that the users have no access to the registry
and can only save files on the C: drive to their My Documents folder.
I found this code on the web, but it doesn't work either. The files
continue to print out of my printer instead of making a PDF. I put the
entire code at the bottom, but here is the part I'm calling:
Public Sub SaveReportAsPDF(strReportName As String, Optional strPath As String)
Dim strOldDefault As String
Dim strFilter As String
'Ask for the path if it is not provided
If Trim(strPath) = "" Then
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, "Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf)", "*.pdf")
strPath = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
OpenFile:=False, _
Filter:=strFilter, _
flags:=ahtOFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT Or ahtOFN_READONLY)
End If
'remember old printer
strOldDefault = QueryKey("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindows", "Device")
'changes to pdf writer
SetKeyValue "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindows", "Device", "Adobe PDF", REG_SZ
SetKeyValue "SoftwareAdobeAcrobat Distiller", "PDFFilename", strPath, REG_SZ
SetKeyValue "SoftwareAdobeAcrobat Distiller", "bExecViewer", 0, REG_SZ
'Distiller.FileToPDF strReportName
DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName
'put the old printer back to default
SetKeyValue "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindows", "Device", strOldDefault, REG_SZ
End Sub
The entire code:
