Report Margins (Print Position)

Feb 6, 2008

Good morning all.

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.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Martin

Reports :: Setting Margins To Print Labels

Jul 11, 2015

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.

Reports :: Unbound Report - Print Preview OK But None Of Fields Print When Report Directly Send To Printer

May 25, 2013

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:

Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])

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.

Reports :: Can Report / Printer Margins Be Changed At Runtime

Nov 10, 2013

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.

Coming Back From Report - Form Out Of Position

Jun 23, 2006

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.

!@#$ Page Margins ...

Mar 27, 2006

I have an Access 97 reporting DB.

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 ....

Cheers!
QT

I Keep Losing My Margins

Aug 18, 2006

Hi Everyone

I wonder if anyone can help me please.

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.

Kindest regards

Tony

Print Pop-up Modal Report

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.

How can I print the report from the pop-up, modal view? :mad:

Thank you in advance for all your help

On Report Print, Run Query

Apr 2, 2008

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.

Print Report From Listbox

Jun 4, 2005

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]

For Each vItem In ctl.ItemsSelected

Me.txtCurrentStudentName = ctl.ItemsSelected

Next v Item

Obviously this is not correct. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Print Report From Form

Mar 10, 2006

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.

Can't Print Out What's On The Listbox To The Report

Sep 5, 2006

Hi,

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

DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

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?

Thanks a lot
