I have a form where I'd like to create a button to print labels from a labeling program called Label Matrix. I already have the label set up in Label Matrix to draw info from the Access table, and I know how to create a button. I can't figure out how I would make the button print the label.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to develop a software that allows users to print data from a GUI. The GUI is a form containing several fields: the user can choose only the fileds he wants to print (I thought to a checkbox to choose the needed fields)
For each field the user can specify: font, x,y coordinate to locate it into the label to be printed
The user can decide also the format (height,width dimensions) of the label
I imagine that the great difficulties is to find the function to create the string to sent to the printer....
Access 97.
Not sure if this is the right area to post this question in, but here goes....
I want to print mailing labels but I only want to print selected names from my database, not every name in the database.
How do I do this?
Make it simple, please.
Thanks.
I have an Access database that includes a customer listing. My client would like me to include a button on a form that prints off all of their customers' names and addresses onto mailing labels. I know how to do it manually by clicking on the Customers table, clicking Labels under the Create ribbon, selecting the fields, selecting the label manufacturer, size, etc. etc., but the customer would prefer to have just one single button.
I've looked everywhere for VBA code to put into a macro that does this. Unfortunately, unlike Excel, Access doesn't have a "Record Macro" option so I can attach it to the button.
Table: Customers
Fields: FirstName LastName Address City State Zip (There are other fields, but they are not relevant to printing address labels)
I need to print a contiguous subset of records from a table, not the whole table. I'm using a standard Avery #5349 label page, but need to print them in a vertical orientation (2 1/3" wide x 3 3/8" high; 4 across w/2 down), so I have to create a custom landscape label to print on regular 8 1/2" x 11" paper, but defined as landscape 11" x 8.5". When I do Print Preview, and orient the printer to Landscape, the Print Preview still shows Portrait, so I'm losing labels off the right side of the screen.
I know I can export the table to an Excel spreadsheet (to be used by Word's label print functions); the custom label page definition there is correct, and the labels print correctly. But I'm trying to simplify the whole operation by printing the labels from Access.
1. When designing the Access custom label definition, the Edit Label page graphic doesn't reorient and redimension the labels' layout as I enter each label dimension (as it does in Word), so I'm not sure which dimensions are correct (I've tried both ways). When I go for the Print Preview (and specify that the printer is to honor Landscape mode), I'm told that the dimensions won't fit on the page .. and I've seen the messages that say to ignore this if printing multiple labels .. "it'll probably print OK." Do I just (in my mind) rotate the graphic 90 and enter the measurements as I do in Word?
2. I haven't gotten to this point in Access yet: can I format each field differently (font, size) in the 1st label, then replicate that label's design across all (as in Word), then fill with data from the table?
3. I'm a DB lightweight .. how to select a range of records from a table to print to the labels? I don't want to print the whole thing.
4. Similar to #3: if I decide to export a table to a spreadsheet for input to Word, how to export just a range of records? I've been exporting the whole table, then editing the spreadsheet to delete the unwanted records, before inputting it as the Recipient List to Word's label print functions.
I'm trying to develop the necessary techniques at home on my Windows 7, Office 2010 platform. When I get it all figured out, I'll try to implement it on the target platform: my church's XP Office 2007 environment.
Is it possible to have a control with the appearance of a button (clicked or unclicked) but with the characteristics of a checkbox (can only hold a true or false value)?
Like the toggle button in an option group (i.e. On/Yes/True shows as a sunken / depressed button, Off/No/False shows as a raised / unpressed button)
I can't use an option group because I only want one button - which will either be on or off / clicked or unclicked based on the value it's bound to (a Yes/No field)
Is this possible?
Hi all,I've been struggling with this for a few hours... I sure hope that the solution to my problem is complicated so I don't feel really dumb!I'm trying to design a database to eliminate the HOURS that my mom spends trying to format mailing labels in Word. She deals with about 50 clients at a time, and sometimes needs to print labels for just a selection of them, but not all. I'd like to design a form where she can select (using an option button or similar) the clients for whom she wants to print a label, and print them all at the same time (rather than printing one at a time, which I can handle on my own). Creating mailing labels will be the only function of the db so the info stored in it will be relatively simple.I have the Northwinds db installed, and I've found the sample Macro controlling the Where condition for the labels report. I understand how to make it work for a single selection from a combo box (ie: only print labels for customers from a specific country)I have my report set up so it shows a label for each client, pulling data directly from the main table. No troubles with formatting. **knocks on wood**My problems:1. I searched this site and found a link to the MS KB file that outlines how to print multiples of one label or skip used labels before starting to print (Q95806 - "How to Skip Used Mailing Labels and Print Duplicates"). I'd like to use this, but can't make it work.2. I can't figure out how to "link" the option button to the client name as it's listed in the form, and then tell the report to only print labels for the selected clients.I have very little coding experience but I can make some simple code work and am OK at customizing pre-written code to my own needs if it's well commented, so VB isn't entirely out as an option.I have a possible solution in mind that involves creating a query that makes a new table with only the selected clients, which is then used to make the labels report. I think I could make that work if I could just figure out how to select the clients in the first place.I apologize in advance if this has been taken care of elsewhere. I tried to find it, but had trouble coming up with the right search string!Thanks in advance,~ Mel ~p.s. I'm using Access 2000.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using access 2010 and have made a simple database for the company I work for. This consists of the a table of the raw data and a form to make the data printable.
I have been asked by our admin person if I can make it possible to be able to print labels from it. I know it is possible via the wizard but very limited.
What we really need is to be able to select the people from the table that we want labels for.
I have added a true/false check box to the table called 'label?'
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI notice that, no matter the context, the shortcut menu button to export to Excel is always disabled. The Export drop down button is enabled, but it only shows PDF and XPS as target formats. However there is no problem in exporting to Excel from tables, queries or even reports using the ribbon tools. I want users to be able to export selected reports to Excel but I don't want to give them full access to the ribbon. I'm using Access 2007 SP3.
Update: a further curiousity. If the database is in accdb format, I can use print preview, right-click on the preview, then select Export...>Excel and that works. But the Export option isn''t available after conversion to accde format.
So I have created this database for a lessons learnt system. Is it possible in Access 2007 to create a button that if pressed automatically sends an email out to someone? So my main form in the database is a split form which contains a search filter, which works well and also contains a button called add new lesson. This button is linked into another form and when pressed brings up this new form. In this form it has a save and close button. What I actually would like is when the form is updated and this save and close button is pressed, an email is sent to a "project head" who has to confirms the information before the data is saved into the database. Is this actually possible?

I use ACCESS, but I do not know SQL. .
I have a button on a form which is used to print shipping labels. This button runs a Query and then a report using the code below.
Private Sub SaveBtn_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET DateBookedOut = '" & Me!DateTxt & "' WHERE BarCode ='" & Me![BarTxt] & "'"
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET BookedOut = True WHERE BarCode ='" & Me![BarTxt] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "PrintLabelQuery"
DoCmd.OpenReport "Labels", acViewPreview
DoCmd.PrintOut , , , , 1
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
But I need both the query results and the report to not be seen. All I want to happen when clicking the button is that a label is printed.
I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.

On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
First I should say that this is my first post, and I'm very new to this. Now on to my problem. We have a form with a bunch (like 25) of buttons that are links to specific reports. When you click on one of the buttons the report opens up along with a little pop up form with a print button on it. How can I get this print button to print the report that is open? Do I have to put in code for every possible report that may be open, or can I just say "print the current report" somehow?
Thanks,
Nick Jones
Hi... being extremely new to Access, i am sitting here frustrated as anything trying to make this work. I will attempt to explain what I am trying to do.
I have a form that has a combo box in it. This combo box references a table and pulls in the data depending on the company that is selected. What I am trying to do is add a print button on the form, so that the users can print off an address label. Now I can use the normal print report feature and this prints of the entire report, but what i would really like is the print button just to print the fields I want and not the whole thing. The fields I want to print are.
Name_1
Delievery_Address_1
Delievery_Address_2
Delievery_Address_3
Postcode
Ive had a look in the event field for the print button, but I have no idea of the commands to make it only select the fields that I want to print.
I truly am lost, and seeking guidance from the masters here at Access World.
My printing problem is in your hands.... cheers Paull
I have created a command button that prints a report. The thing is that if the REPORT has no data, i want that the button is INVISIBLE. Is it possible to do this??
Thanks
Andrew
I am having a minor headache with a situation, I have a command button that opens a view of the report that will be printed. The problem is if someone creates a new record and hits the button it comes up blank.
If I add me.requery before the DoCmd statement then it just restarts to the very first record and shows that in the report view =(
Any Ideas? Thanks Guys!!

Hi all....
I have a list box that I can select mulitple items from - I then click a search button and it runs a query that finds what I am looking for from a table and then displays the results in a subform.
In the subform I can input weights and get a percent....anyhow.
How do I set up a button so that it will print out a report or the report from the subform information that is currently being viewed.
Also, I can already do this by clicking a button on the form and pulling up the installed report program but, you need to input data to get this report.
I kinda want this button to be a "I need it now" type of print option.
Thanks...as always my questions are probably confusing...:D
I have been running in this problem and i didnt know the cause but ive just realized now.
A mouse over the print button on the Menu Bar hangs my A2K for some Minutes. Other buttons on the menu bar dont.
A network printer is the default on my PC, but this is of as for now,it needs servicing. I dont know whether it automatically detects the printer settings on mouse over it :confused:
I generated a pop up warning message window every time when I open a form. The problem is there are many lines information in the window. Now I want to have a Print button in the msgbox window. So the user can click that buttton to print these warning message. Is this easy to do? Any clues? Thanks.
