I have a bound form that I created. I want to be able to print a blank form. When I click on my print button, nothing happens. Also, when I click on the print icon, I get the following error:
I created a form that opens to a blank form. I also have a print button on the form. I want to be able to print the blank form, but nothing happens unless the primary key has a value in it. Is there a way to print just a blank form? I have been working at this problem for a few weeks. Please help!
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
I have an Access 2000 form containing several subforms that needs printing on a regular basis, which works fine when the subform contains data, but sometimes the subforms contain null values. We want to print the subforms without the data to maintain consistency, but when printed they have disappeared and a blank space in the form is printed. The subforms view perfectly in print preview... any help would be appreciated, I have spent a good deal of time researching this issue without any leads
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
All i want to do is to print my report (with the records ideally!) which has a subreport header at the top but all i am getting is a single blank record?!
Surely this is not too much to ask but it is holding up the whole project!!!
I have a non standard size report (for printing labels)
The report is just over 10cm wide and just over 15cm deep.
I have solved the blank pages caused by exceeding the width but I'm still getting a blank page when I move some data down. I am still within 15 cm but it's throwing me a blank page. Even if I extend the in design mode depth to say 20cm (ie the height in Detail) it's throwing a blank page (I can see this in print preview).
I initially set up the report (it's a long time ago so memory fades) using the label wizard setting up a label 4*6 inches (10.16 * 15.24 cms) and it is this i'm trying to tweak. Is there a property I'm missing somewhere?
I've been asked to make sure only certain users in my database are able to print anything (i.e. Administrators). Is there any option/property to do this?
I have already built in User Access controls using the ctl.Tag property. The only way I can think off the top of my head is when a 'general user' uses it, to ensure that every control is displayed 'on screen only'. This of course doesn't stop them printing - just makes them print blank pages!
When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.
I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal
Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.
But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason? What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.
The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?
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.
I have a form with multiple subforms. When I hit print selected record I get a blank sheet of paper. What could be set to not allow the data or the background of the form to print?
If I just print the subform out by itsself it works good. However when I have the main form open then try to print I get blank pages.
I am sure someone changed a fairly small setting, but I do not know what has been changed. Thanks.
:eek: When I go to print the form, it repeats the detail section over and over. Instead of being one page, it is 1414. How can I fix this problem? Thanks
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.
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
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
Hello all- New here and working with a database for my boss. I did not create this rather am modifying it. I have a table (vehs) that contains information for three different departments regarding their vehicles. This database also has a form that prints (when clicked once) all of this data to the local printer. I need to make three sub forms to print similarly but just by department number (in other words only department 1's vehicle data) I'm not too big an access guru so if I need to supply any more data please let me know
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.
After having designed a series of forms, I have just been told that users would like to occasionally print the data. On testing this, it seems that the data does not print onto 1 page. Are there any settings to fit data to 1 page wide only?
Aternatively, is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps by using a report or something like that? The form has a whole load of calculated fields (calculated control boxes with expressions) so would I run into any problems doing it ths way ?
Having trouble printing after I performed a filter. Have a subform with continuous forms that I put various filters on..., however when printing, all the records print and not just what was filtered...Is there a way around this. Basically, I would like to be able to print out only the filtered records in my form view.
I am looking for a way to only print the detail section (no header, no footer) using a print button on a form. it also needs to fit to 1 page. do i need code for this or is there a property that can be adjusted?
We have 3 different sizes 1x3 2x3 4x6..I want to make 3 separate forms that have multiple sections that can be chosen.Upon Request I can Supply each separate Label with arrows to show what fields need to be changed for each Sales order.For the 1x3 Labels we Make:
1. ETL - We change model # - We Change if the Labels Says Dry Damp or Wet Listed.
2. MISC. -One Plain Txt Box that can be edited in the center
For the 2x3 Labels:
1.Box Labels -Customer -Item -Sales Order# -Shipping Location (For the Box Labels I was thinking I have a Table that holds all this data and all I would have to make is a Query then a form)
2.ETL -Change Model -Wet Damp or Dry 3.CSA -Change Model -Change the Wattage (3 Different Places) -Wet Damp or Dry 4.MISC -6 Text Boxes (From top to Bottom not side by side)
4x6 Labels: 1.HID Box Labels -Item -Watts -Color -Medium or Mogul Based
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 a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
Looking to print an access 2000 report on a 3 part - 9 1/2" x 4" carbon form. I'm using an Epson LQ-590 dot martrix printer. Does anyone know how I can set this up under the page setup of the report? I'm trying to print an access report I made with comapny and customer name to these 3 part carbon meter tickets. I'm really in a jam. Any help is gratly appreciated. Thanks....
