I want to put a print button on my data entry form that prints the current record in a report that is laid out all nice and pretty. I found this code that works, but it goes straight to the printer - it does not bring up the printer dialog so you can select a printer.
Code:
Private Sub RecordPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
I used the code below to hide all the toolbars and then created my custom ReportToolbar so the user can print the report. All works OK; however, the PRINT button on my custom toolbar sends the report imidiately to the printer. How can I create a button that I could add to my custom toolbox which would open the dialog box that allows to choose the printer, number of pages to print, etc.. (same action as I can get by going to File->Print)?
PS> Also, is there any way to remove the drop down arrow from my custom toolbox? I disabled Customize Toolbox but the pulldown arrow still appears. I found making an MDE would take care of this, but was wondering if there was another solution.
Code used to hide toolbars:For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count CommandBars(i).Enabled = False Next i
This for an app being used in Access 2003. I'm trying to (sort of) automate naming a PDF report. After the user selects a printer from the print dialog, if the printer name is like "*PDF*" then I want to put the PDF file name in the clipboard so it can be quickly pasted in the file name of the PDF printer's save dialog.
Something like this:
Code: Dim strSelectedPrinter as string DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt1", acViewPreview DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint
[Code]....
but that returns the name of the default printer, not the selected printer.
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.
I have a database with a mail label printer and another printer attached to the computer. I would like the user to hit the command button for each of the printers and have the selected data printed without having to select which printer to use each time.
Note: Printer "set up" doesn't work, even when form is in design view, because after print is done, back to dialogue box when trying to print the next time.
I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
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.
Is there anyway i can print the current record using a button or something ,which i am viewing using Data Access Pages , i have searched a lot of forums but have got nowhere , now i just wanna know how the hell can i use it to print a record or print any report for that matter using a DAP!!! can anyone give me a suggestion or just point me to some reference for using these DAP...
I have a report that is tied to a table. On my table form I have a button that prints the report. Is there a way to only print the report for the current record showing on my form?
Private Sub Command30_Click() DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord Dim strDocName As String Dim strWhere As String strDocName = "Civil Process" strWhere = "[FormID]=" & Me!FormID DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acPreview, , strWhere DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint End Sub
I can get this code to print only one record but then the button will always print this record. It will not change and print the current record.
FormID is an autonumber to give each record it own id.
Is there a way to print the current record from a dao.recordset?
This is an exercise to compare data content.
I have a table with 30 fields and thousands of rows (rs1).
I'm comparing it with a copy of the same table (rs2) that has the same number of fields and the same rows and almost the same content.
I can loop through the recordsets and get the cursor to stop on a field whose values don't match, lets say on row #x
and the programmed message will say something like:
"ROW: 699 Field: [RequestStatus] rs1.VALUE: Closed, DOES NOT MATCH rs2.Value: VOID, in the comparison recordset"Then I'd like to print the entire Row, Row #699.
I thought I could use rs1.getrows but I'm not sure how to make that work.
I need to Print a single record from a form but using a report layout.
I have created the form and created a report. A button on the Form kciks off the print but I get all records rather than just the one shown on the Form. Whats a really simple way of just selecting the Current record.
Where do I put an instruction saying print only this record:confused:
hi i have 3 queries brought together in 1 form. i do not want a report to be printed out just the current record in form view. this is because i have a number of images per record. if i print out the current record and it only has 1 photo in a sub-form attached to the main form record, then the main form will print on 1 page which is what i want [screenshot 1]. But if there are 2 or more photos attached to the main record then the print command button prints out 2 pages for 2 photos, 3 pages for 3 photos and so on [screenshot 2]. any ideas as to how to limit the print command button to print out only 1 page per record regardless of how many photos their are attached to each record?? thanks
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.
Is it possible to get Access to open the print dialogue box instead of printing direct to the default printer when using the print command from a button?
I have an application (2007 accde) that has been working for some time, this line specifically:
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.txtAttachment
On one users PC (XP Pro SP3), this has worked from day one. His PC got infected to the point that I had to wipe/rebuild it, and suddenly this code throws a warning and then an error. The warning I could live with (it's the MS Office "some files can contain viruses..." warning). However, after clicking on OK for the warning, I get an error that says "Can't print form image to this type of printer". Doesn't make sense, as this user has the same default printer he had before, plus I tried with a different default printer.
if I navigate to the file location on his PC I can open any of the files, so I don't think it's a permissions issue. The code works fine on my PC and a VM with a different OS, and it still works fine for other users.
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 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.
Users of the db I am working on print using a regular network printer 95% of the time. 5% of the time however, they need to change that printer to another one, or to a PDF printing program. All of the printers they need are installed in their Printers folder.I can think of two possible courses of action here:
1. load the printer dialog box (preferred)
2. provide them with a custom interface to select a temporary printer
I don't want them to have to load the printers folder and switch the printer temporarily.how to load the printer dialog.
