Reports :: Multiple Report Printing From One Button
May 13, 2014I'm trying to print out several reports from one button. I have created individual buttons for each of the reports and they work fine.
But when I try to amalgamate them it stops printing after the first two reports regardless of which ones are at the top of the list.
The code I'm using is ......
Private Sub Print_All_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "Business_ID = Forms!frm_Business!Business_ID"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_Front_Page", acPrint, , strFilter
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_D_and_N_Suitability", acPrint, , strFilter
[Code] .....
Reports :: Printing Report To PDF File Via Button On Search Form?
Aug 7, 2014I'm building an application to record engineer input in Events (jobs) for an engineering company.
My main tables are Products, Builds and Events, together with fifty or so reference and ancillary tables which aren't really relevant to this particular head-scratcher.
A Build is derived from a Product and an Event is applied to a Build. An Event includes a sale, a service, a warranty repair and so on. Over time, multiple Events will be logged against a Build.
I have a searchable Events form (Search_Events), containing a subform (Search_Events_sub) whose contents dynamically change to reflect data entered in a variety of unbound fields in the main Events search form. Needless to say, the glue that holds things together is the Event_ID field.
On my Search_Events form, I'd like to place two buttons (Rpt_Event_client and Rpt_Event_internal) which will allow the user to print either a client or an internal copy of the event in question. The reason I want to use separate buttons rather than one button for both copies is that it's quite likely that different engineers will work on different parts of an Event's build, test and sign off process, and will want to print off and annotate the internal report, whereas only the final report will be sent to the client. Also, there will be some slight differences between the visible fields on each report (time and materials logged etc).
So far, I've managed to get the Rpt_Event_internal button to open the relevant Event report in preview mode, using the following on the button's 'on click' event:
DoCmd.OpenReport "Rpt_Event_internal", acViewPreview, "", "[Event_ID]=[Forms]![Search_Events]![Sub].[Form]![s_Event_ID]", acWindowNormal, ""
(In the subform, Event_ID is referenced as s_Event_ID because I'm using an nZ function in most of the search fields so that the results filter dynamically)
So far, so good: this works fine. However, from a usability perspective, and based on the fact that this will be the most-used feature, I'd really like to be able to have the button do the following:
- print the relevant report, based on Event_ID as above to a PDF file
- synthesise the filename of the report along the lines of "Event_" & [Event_ID] & "_Client_Copy_" & [Date()] & ".pdf"
- and to then have the standard 'save as' Windows location browser/file explorer dialogue box appear so the user can choose where to save the file. I don't want the filepath to be hardwired, rather I need the users to be able to decide where to save the file.
I'm using Access 2013.

Printing A Textbox Not Working?!
Mar 12, 2006I have a Form that contains a Textbox (txtSummary) which summarises all information that is contained on that Form. All I want to do is print the textbox only, as a quick reference for other people to look over.
I searched this Forum beforehand to see if the printing of the textbox was possible and found the following advice:
Create a textbox on a Report and for the Control Source of that report put..
=[Forms]![MyFormName]![txtSummary]
but when I view the report I get the error... ?Name
I have checked that all names are correct and they are as far as I can see.
Could somebody please tell me what it is that I am doing wrong.
Thank-you for your help.

Oct 15, 2014Basically im trying to setup a click button that will export my query as a text file ( the text file will then be fixed width and i have already setup the specifications for this).
I think i get how to complete the export part as below

DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "Welcome output query Export Specification", WelcomeOutput, OutFilePath, True
I just dont know how to run the query and link it to the export.
Report Page Setup Keeps Changing
Jan 3, 2006I have several reports in my system. Some are landscape and some are portrait. Occasionally the landcape ones switch to portrait taking up two pages each. In preview mode it is not so bad that the user can reset the page size, but when one is sent to print this is most certainly annoying.
Any advice?

Duplicate Record Command Button Not Working For One Form But Is Working For Other Form
Jan 15, 2015I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
Queries :: Printing Query Results Using A Button

View 3 Replies View RelatedReports :: Automate Printing From A Command Button With Selected Data From A Query?
Jul 15, 2013How can I automate different printers for different reports on the same MS Access 2007 database, without having to select the printer each time?
There are two reports that are printed on the same database. Previously, I had automated form buttons to print the reports, without having to select the printer each time. This was about 8 years ago, but I don't remember how I did this. Also, I don't know SQL. Nothing against code, but I did not know how to program, and just MS Access 2007 access itself.

Sep 11, 2013I have a button on a FORM to print the current record with the following code:

Duplicate Report Printing
Jul 11, 2006Hi 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

Printing A Report From A Form
Aug 30, 2006Hi
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:)
Printing A Form To A Report
Nov 1, 2006I 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

Colour Printing From Report
Jan 17, 2007Hi 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.

Printing One Forms Report
Nov 6, 2006Hi, 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!!

NOT Printing Image In Report
Dec 3, 2004MS Access 2003
I inserted an image (jpg) in a report, it appears in PrintPreview, but not when I print it on my printer.

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?
Help On Printing Report From Server
May 14, 2005Need 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).
Reports :: Sub-report Not Printing
Jan 13, 2015I 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).
Reports :: Printing Into Pdf From A Report
Mar 1, 2013I'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 RelatedPrinting Report From Form
Jan 3, 2010I 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.
Printing Report To PDF In Access
Oct 22, 2015I 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.
