I am trying to create a button on a report that prints out the report. The default option for 2 sided printing is true on all computers at the office. I am looking for the command how to do this, whether I have to find each computer's default printer options or what.
How to adjust this besides going into printer settings and changing the defaults manually.
Access 2007
How to turn on double-sided printing through code but I actually have the opposite problem and I can't find any solutions that have worked.
In order to be as green as possible, our printers are set up for duplex printing.
I have an Access 2010 database that creates discipline notices. This report, no matter what I try, will not print multiple notices on separate pieces of paper. Because they are discipline notices and are handed out to the associates, they must print on separate papers to maintain confidentiality.
I have my lines set up as text black but when I print they turn to a dark blue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey, I tried searching for this one, but I'm not really sure what to search for.
I am running a report that is double sided. However, I do not want the start of the next group, on the same physical page. I also do not want a starting blank page (as I thought about inserting a blank page after the section).
Any way to do this?
Maybe I have to write a function or something? Depending on if the page is an even or odd number? I honestly have no idea.
Thanks for the help!

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
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 linked table rawdata from a database called competitor from a ODBC Database. I run a query with to make a table with a criteria where it retrieves roughly 10 columns with 719,000 rows. And it gives me this error.
(Cannot open database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
I asked the creator of the database and they said the database grows automatically and it was created with the same Access version as i am using to run the query.
Also when I do a RUN without creating a table and just selecting and displaying the data it does not give me any issues.
I have a report based on a query that has data for many dates. At the moment I have put a specific date in the criteria of the query so that I could build the report format. So it now displays all the data for the date i have in the criteria section. I will need to run this report several times per week so the specified date (and corresponding data in the report) will need to be changed to a new date when I open the report i.e. when I open my report I want to show data in the report only for a specified date.
Can I create a date parameter box open up when I open the report? Can I create a form with a button that when I click will open the report displaying data for that date? What would be the best way?I also need to display the specified date on the report.
Hi I am new to the forum. :)
I am creating an access database that holds customer information for a friend of mine. I am struggleing to think of ways to make Access do several tasks.
I have created several forms that display when reletive buttons are clicked and some run automatically using queries, one of which runs a query that displays any upcoming service inervals that are within thirty days of the current date, and allows the user to print a report that is designed to be a service notice for the relevant Customer/s which contains the customers address, phone numbers and service due date with a small pre-made text insert that advises the Customer about the upcoming service recommedation. The Form also provides the ability to print address labels for the same customers, making it quick and easy to send them out by post. The problem that I am having is that I would like the customers information that has already been printed to be removed or greyed out in someway so that the query does'nt print out duplicates but also have the ability to allow user control to reprint any result that may for any reason need reprinting.
Thanks for any help

Hi
I'm pretty new to all of this. I've set up a simple database. I have a form in it for inputting information and then there is a command button on the bottom which prints out a report I've created with the information on it. This is all working great except it prints evey record and I only want the current record printed out.
I've tried the help and it goes into detail about OpenReport and PrintOut in macros. I have no idea what a macro is or what to do with it.
Can anybody please help me and give me step by step instructions as to how to print out only the current record in the report from the command button.
Your help is greatly appreciated:)
I have a form (entry screen to enter data) I then created a report in the layout I need for my order form. I want to creat a button that a user can press and it will print the current record to the report (order form layout)
Here is my current code for the print button on the form page:
Private Sub btnPrtOrderFrm_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptOrders2"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
End Sub
The only problem is when I tell it to print if I am on record number 2 on the form, it prints both record 1 and record 2. I only want the current record i am in to print. Any ideas much appreciated

Hi all, i'm having a rather annoying problem. When I view my report I have 2 sets of conditional formatting that run, one that changes the back colours of certain fileds when the criteria is meet, and the second, the text colour of certain fields, both of which work fine when previewing the report. However, when I print the report, any of the back colour in the preview does not print out but text colour does. If I print from another office programme i.e. Word, block colour is printed fine its just seems to not work in my access.
Please note that if the same report is printed from another computer, it prints fine.
Please does anyone have any idea on why this is happening and how to sort it. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.
I had made my own database for my own business.
I am trying to print a report from a form. Once i enter an order detail i finish off by printing a letter. At the moment we are doing this via a query by entering the order id.
I want to automate this so for the form record i am in i want a button to print a report for that record only.
I know this can be done as i rember doing this in college but i cant get my head round it at the moment.
Please help
Hi, Ive read all I can on forums and web and am still unable to print the current forms report using a command buttons on click. This is the code i have been playing with:
Dim strDocName As String
Dim strWhere As String
strDocName = "Home_Oxygen_Report"
1. 'strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= Me!Home_Oxygen_Form!general_info.HospitalNumber"
2. strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= "" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & """
3. 'strWhere "[general_info.HospitalNumber]='" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewPreview, , strWhere
Number 3 gives the closest result but it prompts me to enter the primary key when i hit the command button but i need it to do this automatically. The primary key is a text box not number. Note that the primary key is HospitalNumeber of Table general_info (form and reports record source is query of many tables).
any help would be muchly appreciated!!

I inserted an image (jpg) in a report, it appears in PrintPreview, but not when I print it on my printer.
Please help me. I do not if the problem is with my printer or I'm doing something wrong when inserting the image.
update: It seems to work when printing from Print icon, but does not work when printing from File/Print menu. Is this a known bug?
Need how to help on printing reports in Access
Problem: I have a databse that is on a network at the office. My users are out in the field using mobile data computers linked to the network using verizon air cards (56.6 kbps modem). Whenever they want to print a report, since the front ends of the DB are on their computers and the back end is on the server, the mobile computer has to send the actual report from the computer over the air card to the server for printing. Each page takes 5-7 minutes before it prints at the office.
Question: Since the data resides in a table on the back end on the server, Is there a way to have the reports reside on the server as well and have the Mobile computers simply send a command to print the report from there so it's not having to send all that information over the incredbly slow air card? Or am I just going about this the wrong way altogether?
I'm not totally up to speed yet on all this computer lingo so please use little words (LOL).
I have a report with one sub-report. It previews correctly and prints correctly from my ACCDB. However, when I create an ACCDE, the sub-report previews correctly and then does not print. I have tried the following and none work: In the main report, deleted the links and changed the subreports record source.
Changed layout for print to no
Changed filter on empty matches to no
Moved everything from detail to page header.When I put code in the subreport to set a flag when loaded and queried that flag in the main report, the subreport never admitted to being loaded when run from the ACCDE (again works fine from the ACCDB).
I'd like to print out a report so that each record should be printed into an individual pdf file. When printing manually, record by record, I use an app called cuteprinter for converting reports into pdf. But that one needs saving path for each individual pdf file. What could I do if I'd like to make a series of record printing? Would there be a way of automatic generating path and file name for each record's print?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am able to print a report of all records from a command button on a form with
DoCmd.OpenReport "General Input Info", acViewPreview
I can also print just the current form to the report with
DoCmd.OpenReport "General Input Info", acViewPreview [ID] = & [ID].
What I would like to do is print a report showing the current form and all the forms after that form. In other words, none of the records previous to the current form listed but do show the current record and all others after that as determined by the auto number ID field. I am able to filter by form in the ID field with >45 showing me all records with an ID of 46 and above but I want to be able simply print the report from the command button that is on the form.
I have an Access Database installed on a server that is accessed remotely by numerous users. I have a button to print out a specific report. The problem is that in order for a user to print the report their print driver must be loaded on the server. Due to the number of users, and the numerous types of printers available, this is impractical. The current code on the button is currently:
Private Sub Command PrintReport Click()
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere ="[Property Number] = " & Me.[Property Number]
DoCmd.OpenReport "RESERVE REQUIREMENT REPORT", acViewNormal, ,strWhere
End Sub
I would like to know if there is some code that would send the report to PDF, so that any remote user could then print the report from PDF.
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
I'm probably going about this the wrong way all together, but what I'm trying to do is print a single record from a form in a report.
Basically after the client fills in the form they can print their "results report" using the click box (command button) in the bottom corner of the form. When the client clicks on the button it prints all the records ("result reports") of all the clients...no good of course.
Here's the code for the button:
Private Sub PrintSingleChamber_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintSingleChamber_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "SingleChamberPrintOut"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_PrintSingleChamber_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_PrintSingleChamber_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintSingleChamber_Click
End Sub
Can someone point me in the right direction? :confused:
Thanks again,
Mark
I have a report with several subreports which run agains a very large table. If I decide to print the report after examining it, all of the underlying queries must run again. Is there any way around this to avoid this delay, other than exporting as rtf or snp?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi all..
I have a drop down list on a form that prints a report based off of the selection in the cbo box...
(I have already changed the query and relationship for the lookup and maintable)
Here is the code that works fine,(this is on a command button)
Private Sub cmdViewStreet_Click()
stDocName = "rptStreetName"
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStreetName", acViewPreview, acEdit
Me.cboStreetName = Null
End Sub
What I am doing now.. is this: the look up table that had the street names but did not have an autonumber or primary key. I added in a autonumber and primary key. I can get the cboStreetName to list the street names and not the autonumber.. and I can get the main table to store the autonumber not the street name (this is what I want).. but now I can't get it to view what is in the cboStreetName... When I hit the view button it does nothing... Any suggestions?? If you need more info please let me know...
I tried something like this to:
Private Sub cmdViewStreet_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdViewStreet_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptStreetName"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptStreetName", acPreview, , "[StreetName]=" & Me.cboStreetName.Column(0)
Exit_cmdViewStreet_Click:
Me.cboStreetname = Null
Exit Sub
Err_cmdViewTitle_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdViewTitle_Click
End Sub
