I made a print macro to print records from a subform.
The problem is, it prints all the records in the subform that are not visible aswell. I did a search for records with TSA in it and it shows 3 records. These are the only records I want to print.
The code I use at the moment looks like this:
Code:Private Sub Print_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Print_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim MyForm As Form stDocName = "frmSubform" Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, stDocName, True DoCmd.PrintOut DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, MyForm.Name, FalseExit_Print_Click: Exit SubErr_Print_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Print_Click End Sub
I'm working in 2003 (still) and have a macro to print the selected form the user has on their screen. I need this same macro to also print a PDF in a particular network folder or just exit if the PDF doesn't exist. I've tried RunSQL with "PrintDoc [Link2PDF]" as the argument. I've tried RunApp with "Acro Rd32.exe /t [Link2PDF]" as the argument but neither one works. The RunApp line will open the Adobe reader but nothing more.
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)
In Access 2007 is it possible to alter a macro so I can print 2 copies of a report. I have created a simple macro which opens up a report based on a value in a data entry form. I want to automatically print 2 copies of the report. Is this possible....
Why when I set up a macro with a PrintOut action does it always prompt me to "Save As" before it prints? I have a default printer set up in the system, but it still asks to "Save As." It does print after.
Using Access 2000, I have a macro to generate a report by updating various make-table queiries. I would like for the macro to print the report to an Adobe PDF file and save the file as the database name.
When I manually print the report, it gives me the opition of selecting printers and Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. After selecting the "printer", a "Save As PDF" menu pops up and currently it lists the Access Report Name. I would like to use the database name as the name of the PDF file.
In short, when I execute the "Generate Report" macro, I want the end product to be a PDF file using the database name as the PDF file name.
Actually I need to select printer before printing report. That's why I need to call printer dialog to select printer using "PrintObject" in macro. But it's print the form not report. I need to print a specific report.
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
I have a form which my company wanted that each single record should be printed from form. I made a print record button and put code to print single page or record. However as a natural habit people go to file > print to print which leads printing all records so 1000's records start printing. Is there any way i can hide print button. File >Print button.
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.
Hi. I have a macro (that runs a bat file) that I would like to run for the first time ,and only the first time that a form is run. The bat file will then copy over certain files the db needs. Is this possible?
I have a database and in order to get the correct values you need to run a few queries/make tables/delete tables ect. I was wondering if there was a way to code something so that on command click button it would run through all the neccessary steps so people dont have to manually do this.
Here's a sample of the database that I'm working on. I'm trying to help teachers take attendance of all of their students and so have the following tables.
tblAdmin - List of Teachers and their IDs tblAttendance - Courses, Student IDs, the Date and the Status (tardy, etc..) tblCourseInfo - List of Courses and the Teachers teaching the course tblEnrollment - List of the Courses and the students enrolled in them tblStudents - Student IDs and their names
The form that I want is a "Course Information Form" that will
(1) Display all the students enrolled in their course (2) Allow the teachers to take attendance everyday while keeping all the previous records
I've attached my sample database. I really appreciate ANY help any of you can suggest.
I am running a Macro that is running 3 query and saving inbetween each query. My issue is that when the macro runs I have to hit ok when the message boxes pop up saying "its about the run a Query" and then again when it says "your about to update the records". These two messages occur for each query and save. So I have to hit OK 6 times
Is there a way I can set the macro to NOT show these message boxes?
I usually search for the answers to my problems, but as im not sure what the problem is i havnt been able to do so here.
Basically i have a pretty simple database, it works fine in the UK. The company i have designed it for are moving to Budapest, i have just had an email this morning saying an error message pops up when the try using a form, i have attached the message. The macro just runs a query based on a table in the database asking the users to choose a record number edit. Im assuming it must be something to do with is being used in Budapest as it works fine here, but they are accessing it the same as they would do here, just from a different location.
I have a program thats work perfectly in some computers useing the network but when i try to open it in other computers i get an error and when i try to debug the error it highlit the line that i am calling the micro that open the mainform in it, i hope some one have an idea for what is going on with the program
Task: to extract data from table 1 of a database (tied to form 1) to create a record in another table 2 of the same database (tied to form 2). Besides, I need to make it simple to use for an end user. On the form 2 I have a command button that activates macro. Macro makes a query to run and extract data from table 1 and append a table 2. Now I want the user to see the record on the screen (form 2) that has just been created. For that purpose I add "go to last record" step in the macro.
Problem: that doesn't work. :) For some reason it brings back same record from the middle of the table which is not the last. And what is even more interesting is that it doesn't tie to the record ID on the bottom of the screen (access generated).
Challenge: the record ID field in the table 2 is a primary key auto-numbered field (i know this is not perfect but I am not the one who created the database) and some records have been deleted over time. Might that be connected to that or that is something else? Thank you!!
I have inserted two combo box in the form with lookup in the table. Now I want to select values in these boxes and filter the records having those values on click of a command button placed on the form.
How can it be done without using VBA? Is it possible with use of macro?
I've managed to successfully setup my first Access database.
I have imported data from Microsoft Excel into an Access Database and Table within that (EmptyHomesTable).
The data relates to empty properties and every month at work we receive a list of empty homes in the month. Every month, this new data will be imported into a TemporaryImportTable.
I am then running an update query to compare the data in the EmptyHomesTable with TemporaryImportTable and 'close' those which are no longer empty (i.e. update their status in the EmptyHomesTable if the account reference number doesn’t match).
I am then running an append query to compare the data in the EmptyHomesTable with the TemporaryImportTable and add any new empty properties (i.e. add those which aren’t in the EmptyHomesTable by looking at the account reference numbers and adding them if they don’t match).
This gives us a working database of empty properties but doesn't delete those which are no longer empty (rather they are marked as closed).
What I'm trying to do is to run a Macro to automate all of this on a monthly basis.
Macro is as follows:
1. Delete Query to delete the data in the TemporaryImportTable but keep the table structure; 2. TransferSpreadsheet to import the latest Microsoft Excel file into TemporaryImportTable; 3. Update Query to close properties which are no longer empty in EmptyHomesTable; 4. Append Query to import those new empty properties in EmptyHomesTable;
The macro almost runs fine but I have a couple of questions to help finish it:
a).I’ve run the macro to update the February list to the January list which works fine. Running the macro to update the January and February list (combined) is almost fine but I’m 2 entries out. I can’t manually check as we’re talking about 1,500 entries. Is there another way?
b). Is there any way for the TransferSpreadsheet query to ask at each time of running the macro for the location of the Excel spreadsheet or do I need to go into the macro every time and change the file location?
c). One of the fields in the table is empty date (i.e. the date the property became empty). Is there a quick way to filter the entries before a certain date (i.e. only show those empty before 30 September 2007 for example)?
I have a procedure which I undertake and wonder whether it can be automated in any way.
I have a field on a form for Purchases (frmPurchases) for a Purchase Order number. To get the order, I click on a command (cmdpo) which opens another form and clicking a command on this form (cmdgetpono) produces a unique Purchase Order number. I then manually copy the number given and paste it into the field on frmPurchases (PONo).
I have not used Macros before but cannot see that there are the options to achieve this. If someone could suggest the ones I should uses fro the list it would be appreciates.
Alternatively, is there another way of looking at this?
I have a button that runs a macro to delete records in 12 tables. I want to create a message box before that macro runs warning that you are deleting records in 12 tables and are your sure you want to run the macro.
I need a message box with an ok and cancel button. Where do I put the msgbox funtion in this code?
Thanks !!
This is my code:
Private Sub cmdRunDeleteMacro_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdRunDeleteMacro_Click
I have a macro written that when clicked on it opens a web browser. Is there a way this can then point to a specific website url? I could make the default url in the browser point to a url but each time i click on the macro button the url needs to be different. all of the urls sit in a table within the database.
