I have an annoyance!!! I have a few reports in the access database that I'd like to hard code the print margins so that when I send any database updates to users that have different printers, the margins all come out the same. So that I don't have to then go to each computer I've updated the database on, to open each report and reset the correct print margins.
Another annoyance - along the same lines: A report that previews correctly several times and then - for no reason, previews with larger margins and, hence, data is lost off the right.
I am having a problem setting the margins to print labels in access. I go to page setup and change the margin size click ok and nothing happens to the label and when I go back to page setup the margins have returned to their original values. I have already selected the label printer and labels that im using.So im baffled as to why it wont accept margin values that don't cause the label to be printed over 3 labels.
I have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.
Access 2007 RUNTIME.I have 2 different printers, 1 for invoices A5 & one for general use A4.
I use
[URL]
and can change printers & some stuff but can't change margins.
Is there a way to change these margins via VBA that can be set in RUNTIME.
Like now, I have just had thousands of invoices pre-printed layout but the company managed to move the margin 5mm over so I have to program my MDB reports to reflect that.
hi i have a button that loads a report. If i then close the report the form, which is set with no border/no max/min/close/non movable and opens maximised, places itself off centre. I want it to stay maximised full screen. The only work around i currently have is when the use moves the mouse over the form it maximises itself. Will this then be calling this function everytime the mouse moves(cant be very efficient). is there a better way to maximise the form Immediately after closing the report.
I am working a database that manages student's Records including marks for various subjects, but i would like to do the following on each of the students' report cards:
a) Display the marks for all the 12 subjects .This one i have done.
b) Display a total for all marks of each student.Done as well.
c) The problem is, i don't know how to display the position of each student on the individual report cards.I want to base this grading on the total marks obtained by each student in the same class.
On this form, there is a text box for Quantity...At the end of the form, there will be a button that when pressed:The current record the data on the form is entered for is saved,A report is printed on a specific printer,I do not want the report to actual display,The number of copies it prints should be equal to what the quantity field indicates.I do have the report already created and the Quantity field is on the report (just not visible).Once this all happens, it should return the user to the form, that is blank, waiting for a new record entry.
On all other systems these reports print out fine.
I just set up this reporting system on a new computer and when I print, the reports print on two pages - second page had a tid bit of an order date.
On the other systems, all the page margins ( top, bottom, left & right ) are set to .25" and the column width is set to 8".
I also receive this message upon running the report: The section width is greater then the page width, and there are no items in the additional space, so some pages may be blank.
If I manually move this Order Date field over it does not properly print in the Order Date box on the form fed document.
This report is printed to a OKI Microline 320 Turbo 9 pin dot matrix printer.
All my margins are at .25" EXCEPT for the right margin, which is at .416" ... WHICH I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE!! Why?
I have reinstalled the proper drivers for this printer and have up to Office SR-2 installed.
Why am I unable to change the right margin to .25", if all the other systems have this setting?
Any suggestions are muchly appreciated, as I am seriously frustrated with this situation .... if I have left out any pertinent info .. please send your questions my way ....
I have a form that nearly fills an a4 sheet of paper when printed. For this reason I have to set the margins from 24.99 down to 5.
This is ok and the form works well and prints out properly about 75% of the time. Occasionaly when I open the form it has reverted back to the 24.99 margins which of course prints out on three sheets of paper and is all over the place.
Is ther a way to set the margins on load and can anyone suggest an appropriate bit of code.
I have searched and searched for this on the forum but to no avail. :(
I have just installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and so can create PDFs. Does anyone know the code I need for a button on a form to print a report to PDF format?
I want to print a page with .5 magin instead of the typical 1 inch. I am using access 2000, so i can not use printer.leftmargin. Is there a way i can do this through code somehow instead of going into page setup on each users computer? If the page margin is set to larger than 1" it will print on 2 pages.
Anyone have any suggestions on whare to start? All i can find is how to adjust page margins in a report. Or with a later version of access.
I have a report that opens from a command button on a form. The settings on the report are set to pop-up and modal to keep the focus on the report until closed. I like the settings as they are but I need to print the report once it pops up. As the settings go, I cannot access or use the toolbars to print the report. How can I print the report from the pop-up, modal view? :mad:
I'm not sure if this is possible in Access, but I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run an Update query when a report is printed.
More specifically, I have confirmation reports, and I want the date printed and confirmation sent fields to be updated upon printing. I have an update query ready, but because I'm not going to be the person actually doing the work, I'd like the update query to be run automatically.
I have a report that is dependent on the content of a single text box (a student's name). I would like to be able to select multiple names from a listbox and loop through those names to print the reports. So far, no success.
I believe that if I could pass the name of the student during the loop to the text box, the report would print properly.
Below is an attempt to pass the names in the listbox to the textbox.
Set frm = Forms![Student Reports] Set ctl = frm![lstStudentNames]
I have a form which records the progress of a complaint investigation. There are 3 reports I would like to run from this form using command buttons. They are report_long (shows all activity) report_short (summary) and logsheet. The primary key is complt#. How do I ensure that the complaint being printed is the complt# I have on the form?
Please bear with my ramblings, but I’m not sure what you may find relevant.
I am currently doing work for a service company where the employees are required to wear the company’s uniform. When someone joins the company they are required to purchase their own uniform. After a year, the company buys the replacement uniform. Each year on the anniversary date, the employee is given their annual evaluation. At that time they are given a requisition to go to the uniform supplier for new uniform articles.
Each item in the uniform has a life span. For example, shirts and pants are replaced each year, winter coats and spring/fall coats are replaced every three years, caps every two years etc.
I have a form which lists the item no., description and cost of each item and when they are due to be replaced. For example Winter coat last replaced on 2003/11/10, replacement date is calculated to 2006/11/10 When this employee has his evaluation this November, he will be entitled to a new winter coat. The calculations are done by clicking an option button beside the item on the form. Clicking replaces the issue date with Date() and adds three years to the issue date using DateAdd for a new replacement date. Clicking the button also indicates that the item is to be replaced.
NOW, I have all this working.
What I would like to do is find some way of printing the requisition from this form before closing it. Something along the lines of:
If Option1 is yes Print this item on the requisition Endif
And do this on every item on the form, if it’s yes, print it on the requisition, if its no ignore it.
The option buttons are not part of the underlying tables or query only part of the form.
If I’m doing this backwards, please let me know. I’m well ahead of my deadline.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I have two tables, staff_table and salary_table.
Staff_table has the following fields, Staff_ID, Staff_FN, Staff_LN,...
Salary_table has the following fields, Sal_ID, Staff_ID, Sal_Date, Pay_Amt,...
In the salary form, i have a listbox that shows records of the joining of the two tables, because i'd like to be able to show the FirstName and LastName of staff. So Staff_table is joined to Salary_table via Staff_ID.
And also, in the form, i have a button to print out whatever's listed out in the listbox. It also has a combobox that is to filter the records by Staff_ID.
The salary report is created using the query named QSalary. QSalary is as a result of the joining of the two tables, Staff and Salary.
I hope i haven't lost you this far.
What doesn't work is when i filter by the Staff_ID of 10(michael), i can see there are a few number of records shown just for michael and i want to have them printed out on the report but it doesn't work. it shows the whole records in the salary table.
Here is my code
nlist = Me.LB_Salarylist.ListCount
For ncount = 0 To nlist - 1 stlinkcriteria = ",'" & Me.LB_Salarylist.ItemData(ncount) & "'" & stlinkcriteria Next ncount
If Len(stlinkcriteria) > 0 Then stlinkcriteria = "[QSalary.Sal_ID] In (" & Mid(stlinkcriteria, 2) & ")" ' i have tried [Sal_ID] and [Salary_table.Sal_ID], none of them work. End If
stDocName = "Salary_SumReport" ' for producing salary summary report
I have a report based on a form and when I view the report in print preview, part of it has been truncated. I have attached a screenshot of it. Is there a better way for me to print the form other than as a report? If not, how do I show the entire report without leaving out any part of it?
this my first post in this forum. with my bad english i try to have an answer for my problem with this code Code: Private Sub Commande105_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Commande105_ClickDim stDocName As StringstDocName = "Invoice"DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreviewDoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "Invoice"DoCmd.PrintOut acPages, , , acNormal, 3DoCmd.Close acReport, "Invoice"DoCmd.SetWarnings FalseDoCmd.RunSQL "Update tbl1 set check1 = true where check1 = false "DoCmd.SetWarnings TrueExit_Commande105_Click:Exit SubErr_Commande105_Click:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_Commande105_ClickEnd Sub
i use this code when there is no data to print
Code:Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)MsgBox "No data found! Closing report."Cancel = TrueEnd Sub
when there is no data to print and by clicking cancel this code print the form where my command button is on!!!!! any help please
