I have my subform on my main form and when I press the print button that I created it prints the main form 200 times due to the amout of records in the table.
When I open the subform by its self then press the print button that I created it will print what I want, the subform only.
Please help!! I want to print this subform from the main form.
Thanks,
Could anyone give some assist on how to print only the subform in a form. I'm looking to create a print preview command button that will allow only the sub form to be printed... Thanks for the assist.....
View 6 Replies View RelatedNeed to know if there is a way to exclude a subform from printing when I print forms?
Here's what I'm trying to do - Have a form that contains multiple subforms that are linked back to the master form. One of these subforms is a memo which they would like to see on the "preliminary or draft" copy of this form but would like to exclude it from the "final" copy.
I would think there is some why to do it but I'm stumped at the moment.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I have a database that has a form with 3 subforms. Once a user has entered date, there is a command button to print the current record. The problem is, the 3 subforms have a very thick black boarder around them. Is there anyway to remove the thick boarder? Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop a service dispatch DB and would like to have a print workorder control button. I have it working OK until I enter subsequent records into the subform. OR..am I better off creating a report for the specified workorder? IF so, how? Any direction would be appreciated.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhile using a relational database in Access 2003, I am writing a letter to people, reminding them what resources they have been allocated. The short letter is in a form and a subform has been used to list the resources - between 1 and 5 lines.
If I isolate one person by filtering, I get x identical pages, where x = the number of resources that have been allocated to them. Therefore, some people get one page, others could get 5 identical pages.
Can anyone advise how I can just show and print one page per person, irrespective of the number of resources allocated to them? I can get the correct result in a report but need it in a form so that the users can edit and select the letters to be printed easily.
Many thanks.
Hello,
I have done a search on this forum and found all the postings relating to printing only the current record for a report. I have a command button and have followed what these posts say. The report prints the current record but leaves out the data from the subform.
The database is a recipe organizer. The main form is called Recipes and the subform contains the ingredients for each recipe. This subform is called Ingredients.
I set up a command button with the following code:
Private Sub Print_Recipe_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Print_Recipe_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Family Recipes"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal, , "[RecipeID] = " & Forms!RECIPES![RecipeID]
Exit_Print_Recipe_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Print_Recipe_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Print_Recipe_Click
End Sub
Since the RecipeID is used in both forms and the report, I thought it would be the best field to use since it linked all the information together.
So what do I need to do so that the subform data prints out on the report?
Thanks

I have a subform that displays results based on selections from cascading boxes on the form. I am trying to print them to a report. I think my procedure is correct for the print button and Im afraid my problem is that the form is not based on a seperate query. Is that they only way to be able to print? It is based on procedures defined in the cascading boxes. How can correct it so it will print the results to a report? Thanx.

I am trying to save my form that i have created as a report by right clicking on the form and choosing save as report. However, my form includes a subform but the subform does not show up in the report. Any ideas as to why this and how it can be shown????

I currently am trying to print the current record that I have selected on my form and the subform that I have on the same page. If I try to print selected record it will only print out the main form correctly and will print out the first record on the sub form. I have tried to make a reprot of the current form and it only will do the main form and nothing from the sub form. I am willing to try whatever method would work in getting this to work. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using access 2003
I've successfully printed a report from a main form control and now I'm trying to do the same with a subform control.
I'm using a query to filter the report, with the criteria of:
Code: [forms]![MainForm]![Subform].[form]![textbox]
Is there something I'm missing?
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.
My database is a Reservations System. I want the following to happen:
1. Once a booking has been made it CAN be modified and cancelled.
2. Once the ticket has been issued (printed) it CANNOT be modified.
3. Once reprinted the words "DUPLICATE" should appear on the face of the reprinted ticket
4. Keep track of who made what changes.
i have a search form with a sub form displaying the results, how can i send the results to a report to print out or just print the results?:confused:

hello,
I have a form which has a "Printing Button" The printing button has to print (through a macro) a report that I created based on the form's information. Now, it works perfect on the PC I work on (which has ACCESS 2007), but it gives me an error when hitting the same button from a PC using the runtime version (with no ACCESS 2007 installed).
The error is:
The command or action 'Print' isn't available now.
The code of the macro that executes when hitting the button is:
SelectObject Report, PersonalUncompleted Tasks, Yes
RunCommand Print
How would I fix this?
Thank you very much

Hi,
How do i create an option inside the form, such that when the user ticks this option, it will print the form in this particular report. If user ticks another option, it will print the form in another particular report format... Thanks...
If you have a Print button on your form where you add records, can you set a specific font and background colour when you print or does it have to be the same as what's on your form? I have a red background on my form but I want to print just the text and in black and white.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a command button that brings up a report on my form. After the report comes up and the users has viewed it and printed it, I want a message box to come up saying "Are you done with the report." But when I set up the message box it comes up right after the report comes up. And the user is force to make a decision before its able to do anything.
Is there a way to insert something in VB between the DoCmd.Open Report and my message box to tell the message box, wait until the user has hit the print button?
