hi. i am working first time with query and reports. i have created a database. i have reports and query. i have a button in my form by the name of (View reports) if a user clicks on that button it opens another form with 3 options
1) Problems all report
2) problems resolved
3) Problems not resolved
Now what i really want is when a user clicks on Problems all report it should go directly into excel worksheet based on my query which i have assigned and the width, column should be perfect in excel so then a user can print. secondly same thing goes for problems resolved based on my query which wil show all the problems which have been resolved and should open it in excel with everything alligned and ready to print. i know it is possible and i have been able to just print Problems all based on report not with my query and the formatting was really bad. i need to print reports based on my query directly in Excel worksheet with everything perfectly formatted. any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks alot
I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code: PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code: Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean Dim MyPrinter As Printer PrinterOK = False For Each MyPrinter In Printers If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then PrinterOK = True Exit Function End If Next End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
Currently I have five separate reports setup in Access 2010 (that are running off of five separate queries). Since they have different data/fields, I was unable to combine into one query & one report.
However, I print each to PDF and then combine using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to combine in VBA and not have to do the step using Acrobat Pro?Function PrintReports()
So I'm having timing issues trying to print data from an Access (actually SQL Server) based query to a Excel Spreadsheet. Basically I'm trying to get around using MS-Query and last week I didn't seem to have any problem as far as performance. However, when i tried running today it seems I've had a slow down of at least 500%. The data I'm trying to print is quite large (few hundred records and about 140 fields) so I expect some performance issues. Like I said though i just can't undestand the decrease. Possibly machine performance?
Anyhow, I've tracked the bottle neck and no suprise it is in the loop, I'm just suprised it takes so long to loop through the recordset.
Here's my code, any help will be appreciated?
'Generate grid to dump data If intRecordSetCount > 0 Then rst.MoveFirst 'Loop through length and width and display results Do Until rst.EOF intRSTField = 0 intFieldCount = intField For intIndex = 1 To intColumnCount
Hey all, I have a problem I was hoping that someone could help me with. I am trying to add my digital signature to my report. Since I have added an activeX Control to my form which display and stores my signauture, I would like to display it on my report as well (if it apperas with the record) So I added it like any other control to the report but when it is saved it is letters and numbers, so I have to make it back into a digital signature. Can anyone help me.Thanks
I've created a pretty powerful Access Database that pulls information out of some ODBC tables we have on our local server. Of course, I created the database and all the forms and reports on my work computer here. But, when I was finished, I sent that entire database out to probably 20 or 30 people in the company. On a daily basis, they run the same program from their own computer and they like to print/export/etc. the reports that are produced. However, I don't understand why those reports print our on my personal printer (the printer is on the network). If they have a default printer at their site, why wouldn't it print there? Also, I haven't included any printing macros or VBA coding. I'm tired of having 30 or 40 sheets of paper print out on my printer daily. Any suggestions?
Not sure why this is doing this. When I print out my report, it will print most of the items, and leave some out. When I go back and check the information is in the database correctly, but it wont print out.
I have a report where the detail section, holding 4 subreports, takes up 5 inches in the middle of the page between the header and footer. We want the entire 5 x 8 area enclosed in a box on every page. I have tried to achieve this by putting a line in the Detail_Format section:
Code: boxDetail.Height = 5 * 1440 * Pages
However, when I run the report, I get pages 1/3 correctly, then 2/3 and 3/3 with no detail section or box, and then pages 4/3, 5/3, and 6/3 with blank detail sections and no box. If it's a 1-page report, the same - page 1/1 is perfect and page 2/1 is blank, no data and no box. I also sometimes (but not always) get overflow errors from the Detail_Format event.
I know it's not a margin error because that would be every other page, and the page count wouldn't be doing that. (Still, I have scrupulously checked every margin, and they all look fine.) Getting this look on the report is a priority. Any way to achieve the same result with the box without causing the missing data and extra pages?
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?
I have a report that prints per customer. Is there a way to do a print all such that all the cusomer reports are printed without having to manually print each one ??
I want to print mulitple reports with different content based on a query. It is like printing invoices of different customers based on a date selection at once / automated..Current I have it working so that I have to select 1 customer at the time.
I have limited users to not show the ribbon, but I need them to be able to print of reports or export them as pdf files how do I give them access only to do this ?
I have an application where I have some users in the field with tablets and they deliver a package and the receiver will sign for it (like UPS or FedEx essentially). They sign my application and then the application saves the signature to a SQL Database in binary data. I'm using the Microsoft InkPicture ActiveX control to achieve this. After they sign, I have a line of code that equals:
Me.RecBySignature = Me.RecBySig.Ink.Save
This works fine and I can also recall the signature to the form when the form is re-opened.how to do is to put the signature on a report. Is there a way to "draw" the signature on the report? Or to print it to the screen?
I am trying to have a macro button so when I click it it Emails to a particular person but also prints off a copy.it all works fine but for some reason it wont print the image off, my macro is as below
On the report I use the group function on a field called assemble part number and select no duplicates in the property field . so I don't get that part number on every line below that group.
When I print the report it gives me the assembly part number on every line can the report be printed without it on every line just the group line.
Once images / reports are printed they can be removed.
Should I have a page that shows maybe 40 images and a big print button? or 40 images with a selection box by each one and a big print button? or 40 images and 40 print buttons? etc
The reports will need to change in the future, so a option to select any or all of the reports would be a really good idea.
I have access 2013 but I much prefer 2003 as I know where all the buttons are!
There are about 100 record in my excel sheet and the i have import report by linking from desktop for updating purpose. when i tried to print report its result came not as i desired.
These words i like to print on last page of report but the words like:
( Cheque writer Accounts officer Zonal accountant) print on each page.
How can i print these signatures at the end of last page.
How to do this? trick is that these reports are all the same report being fed different data, opened and closed using VBA. In between the closing and opening the data gets changed. Best approach is?
Hello Here's the problem: I'd like to print multiple reports using a button in a form. I guess I could use something like that: DoCmd.OpenReport "report1", acNormal DoCmd.OpenReport "report2", acNormal DoCmd.OpenReport "report3", acNormal DoCmd.OpenReport "report4", acNormal etc in the command.click sub but here's the tricky section: Some of my reports (they are all based in select queries) do not contain data. How can I make access print only these forms that include records ? For example if the query that provides records to the "report2" returns nothing, I would like on the commabd click event mentioned above, only the report1,3and 4 to be printed. Am I asking too much?Hope you guys understand what I'm talking about. Sorry , if my English isn't too good Thank you in advance
I've created labels in my database and when I print them on a label printer, I get a blank label in between my printed labels. I've checked the printer settings and properties and can't find anything. I've also checked the database properties and can't find anything. Is there something in the database that I'm missing?
I have a table that has a field for SerialNumberStart and QtyRequired, from those two I have a calculated field for the SerialNumberEnd.
I want to print a report from this table that if for example I have StartSerialNumber 34 and SerialNumberEnd 40 prints one report for each serial number.
