I have the following problem:
The print button in access was associated with the default printer, but for some reason know there is no printer associated with it. If I click on it nothing happens. Also if i go through File->Print no screen pops up.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
TIA,
Roda
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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...

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

Hi!
I would like to print a table including subdatasheets in Access. However, in Access 2002 it collapses them, and closes the table when I click on Print Preview. (In Access 2000 it works.)
Any ideas?
Hello!
I would like to be able to print a specified form when a new record is added to my database.
I have an add form which can be filled in, and there is an "Add" button at the bottom of the page, when this is clicked, I want the record to be added but also a specified form to be printed named "frmKitChecklist".
As I am a VB noob I do not know the code to do this, please could someone help me!
Thanks :)
Hi,
Is there anyway to print tables when they are in design view?
I can't even copy and paste it on spread sheet!

What's is the exact syntax to print a subformB (within a formA) using VBA code?

I need a system which will tick all the boxes to corresponding records when I print a report?
The next time I open the report it would only show the unticked boxes which had yet to be printed.

Is there an easy way to printout a form in disignview so the fieldnames appear in the inputboxes? I've a form with 11 tabs and on each tab at least 10 input boxes (10x11 = 110 boxes :eek: ) Writing down the names on a printout is NOT effective
Thnx
I ned to create a form that asks the user which reports they want to preview/print. I see it as a set of tick boxes with one saying all, then a print button. Im not really sure though, can someone offer some advise or maybe an example?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, (sorry to be cross-posting, but I didn't get any response from Modules and VBA)
I've messed something up, I think. But I'm not sure if I messed up VB or some connection in Access.
The Symptoms: I've got a print page with checkboxes that represent other form pages in my db.
The page basically prints ok, except where field information is supposed to be.
Wherever there should be field info, it prints #Name? instead. Each field can't seem to find it's info.
The funny thing is that the information displays correctly in the form onscreen.
Just not when I print.
Basically someone else wrote the the Print code and I've been hacking away to make this code work for 3 new forms (e.g. 3 new checkboxes).
While I'm not terribly familiar with VB, I know my way around script and I'm pretty sure I haven't really messed up that code.
How I got there:
At one point in my building of this thing, every time I went to open the 'print' page, I would get an error and drop into VB.
Well, this was driving me nuts, and at that point I hadn't altered the code. I was just trying to view the print page. So, I cleverly pasted into VB the code from an earlier version of the db. This cleared up the debug error nicely, and I was able to finish the code that would allow me to choose 3 new pages to print. But now it's doing the symptom above.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Guys,
I have searched and searched for this on the forum but to no avail. :(
I have just installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and so can create PDFs. Does anyone know the code I need for a button on a form to print a report to PDF format?
Many thanks,
Rusty
:D
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
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
How can I write a code where a form only prints the PageHeader and not the Formheader (don't know how you call it in english)
I have a form... everything looks good. Sometimes it pulls 5 records, sometimes only 2....
Is there a way to only print the first result no matter what. Whenever there is an extra couple results I do not want those to print.
I got the command buttons to print the reports I wanted from the forms.
I now have a data entry form (data entry = yes). I would like to print a report from this form. All I get are blank fields. I think it may be a problem in the Where condition on the Open Report function.
I am using:
[Forms]![complaintentryform]
The completed form contains all data I want on the report.
I have tried printing it from the table, but I get blank fields there as well.
All suggestions cheerfully received.

I am looking at a way that I can print a report then update a field called printed to "True". I've used the wizard to get the following code to print the report - can I just add a line before the ExitSub to update the "printed" field? If yes, can someone give me some code to start?

I have a tblClient with about 700 records.
I want to be a able press a button and the first 50 records print and then have a second button that will print the next 50 records so on until all the records are done.
Now the problem is i dont know how to pick each batch of records on its own, and second the client database is always growing so i dont want to have to always add a button that will print the next set of records, also in this situation i would like to have a note for each buttoon saying when it was last cliked so i wont print out the same batch twice.
Now i figure the best solution would be run a a code that will print the first 50 records prompt me to cotinue or to stop. if the stop button is clicked it should register at how many loops it is at so on the next time it runs it skips that amount of loops.
Again im not sure how to pick the records or in this case how to retain the loop info.
Thank you
Mark
