I'm trying to get a form to print just one record on a report - and using this code:
Private Sub Command24_Click()
Dim strReportName As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strReportName = "Badge"
strCriteria = "[ID]='" & Me![ID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, acViewPreview, , strCriteria
End Sub
It won't work though - says there's a 'data type mis-match in criteria expression'
I have been an MS Excel man all along my career and I am a novice in MS Access.I have created a table, [Initial Customer Approval] which records data from a Form, [Initial Customer Approval]. Once the data is entered in the Form, I need to do some calculations based on the data entered in some of the fields in the form.I created 6 different queries for the six possible values in those fields. now for each of those queries I created respective reports.I placed a Print command button in the Form.
1. When I press the Print button it should open the report for the current record in the Form. (Currently It Opens all the reports simulatneously, with only one relevant report containing the current record; other opened reports being blank.)
2. If user presses the Print button before pressing Save button then system should prompt user.
Here is the code (Please note [reference number] is the unique ID generated for each record entered in the tabe through form):
Private bSaveClicked As Boolean
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not bSaveClicked Then
MsgBox "You are trying to navigate away from the active record. Please either save your changes, or press ESC to cancel your changes.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation
Cancel = True
[code]...
How do I print several reports of the same record in a row and only prompting once the printer properties?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to get a report to print out one one record that I want.. I want it to be able to be sorted by date and the user just picks a date and one record is printed out on page. Right now every record that is stored is being printed on a different page and over time that is going to be a lot of paper... I want to be able to pick which record I want printed...
The Form is called "Bread Mold"
The report is called "Bread Mold Report"
The table is called "Bread Mold"
What it is sorted by is called "Swab Date"
Now the fundamental point of my Database is to take bookings, calculate the costs and print out the bills.
It all works jim dandy...BUT I havent done it in a elegant way.
So I just want to streamline the database and make it more user friendly so my Dad could also use it.
I have a Switchboard with Buttons which functions as Navigation and below that I have a subform which is based on query from my Bookings table to show my current, future bookings etc.
I want to be able to click on a record in the subform and press a button to open the report in print preview mode without having to input the booking nr.
Funnily enough I have actually found an example database which has this function but its more complex (it does it in 2 stages, so the user can still input more data in the report if required) rather than going directly to the print preview. I looked through the settings but its difficult when you dont really know what to look out for.
I have tried 2 things so far:
-Creating a macro with the OpenReport command but when I ran the macro it still wanted the Booking Nr manually inputted.
- I tried a VBA code but that gave me errors and I wasnt able to debug it.
I read some things regarding the "Link Child/Master Field" but I dont know if I even need that...I *think* that is more for pulling info from the Master form to show the related data in the subform.
I am trying to print from a form to a report. The problem I am running into is I am getting a long report and I have discovered I have basically the same number of pages in my report as I have entries in my subform. If I have one entry in my subform I get a 1 page report. If I have 2 entries in my subform, I get 2 pages in my report and they look exactly the same. What am I doing wrong?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically i have a form where i get info from multiple tables. On the main form itself i have 3 calculated fields for hours where i add all the hours i choose (from a subform) onto the main form.
My issue is i can create a query to come up with all the fields for my report, but how do i get the calculated fields on my main form on the report? Is there a way to print the calculated fields on the main form to a report? or do i have to do the same calculations on the report itself?
I have a form that that contains a button that opens a report. The code I use to open said report is:
Code : DoCmd.OpenReport "Comp and NB Targets Q4", acViewPreview, , strWhere
The issue is that occasionally when the user prints from that preview, it can instead print out the form in the background that was used to open the report.
This seems to happen at random and I have not yet found a pattern or solution to the problem.
Is there a reason this could be happening and is there anyway to stop it?
I am working on a DB that will have multiple reports available. What I would like to do is to have a form that lists the reports available from a reports table. In other words, each detail line of the form will contain a report. I would like to have a button or link placed in the detail line that will open the report for that detail line when it is clicked. This will keep me from having to add a new line to a static form every time I add a report.
I have tried the DoCmd.OpenReport command, but it requires a report name, and I can't find where you can place a field name variable in the command line. I have tried other things I have seen here, but none have done the trick.
I am using the Navigation form and I have a tab that has all the sales quotes for a particular salesperson. Because my salespeople like to work with paper I have created sub tabs which contain a report with the same information but filtered based as follows: this Month, this year, and Last year. This report needs to be printable based on the filtered information so I created a print button within the report however when clicked it prints the entire report not the filtered report.
The filter criteria is located in the navigation button, navigation where under the data properties. I have the on click event of the button set to open the report in print preview but I need to know how I filter the where in the macro to read the criteria from the active navigation button property?
I have a database that has all the employees in my company with basic information. I have a auto number set up for each person. I also have on my form a subform with information about the employee's history in the company. I have bin trying for the last couple weeks, to put a button on my form, that will open up the custom report I made for the one employee, in print preview mode. Everything I have tried gives me a error. The main error I get is The database engine could not lock the table "EmployeeT" because it is already in use by another person or process. If I open the report by itself, then I get all my employees. I am looking to just open a single report from the form I am currently looking at.
I have 2 tables. One Named EmployeeT with all the employees basic information. I have a auto number with the field name EmployeeID.
The 2nd table is called IncidentT, which has its own auto number, and records all the problem/incidents with the employee. For example, lates, if the did not show up, or cancelled out of that day, etc. I have the 2 tables sharing the EmployeeID, sharing the relationship. My main form, has a lot of my information and a subform, Like i said. But no matter what I try I can get rid of that error.
The only way I got it to work without the error, is when I go into properties and change the Record Set Type to Snapshot on both the form and subform. But then I can't edit the form or subform anymore.
Hello,
Does anyone know how to create a form with a listbox that lets u choose reports and preview or print at the click of a button. I know you can do it wil tables and queries but I need it to do it for reports.
Thanks
I've got an unbound form that view records indvidually and I'd like to create a report that when the end-user selects the Print Record Command button it will print all the employees information for his review and if changes my admin's will make the changes. What code would i use to do that with a message prompting them are they sure? I also would like a cmd button to print all records for annual review. Any input will be greatly appreciated...

I use a form to keep a record of employees training. Form name: "ITD Data Entry"
Individuals are identified by a primary key called "SERVICE NUMBER"
I have a button on my form. When I scroll to the right record I click this button to go and preview a report, called "ITD CERTIFICATE".
My aim is to be able to just print off the record I am viewing, but at present if I select print I end up printing off all the records, which would involve a lot of paper
At present, to get around this, I have to select a print range. OK for me, but not great for a stranger to the database.
Is there a way to control this button to print preview the current record only?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

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.
When printing a form (record) in Access 2007??????? When I go to print preview the form displays (and wants to print) every record!!!! How do i get only ONE record to display and print..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to Print a single record from a form but using a report layout.
I have created the form and created a report. A button on the Form kciks off the print but I get all records rather than just the one shown on the Form. Whats a really simple way of just selecting the Current record.
Where do I put an instruction saying print only this record:confused:
hi
i have 3 queries brought together in 1 form. i do not want a report to be printed out just the current record in form view. this is because i have a number of images per record.
if i print out the current record and it only has 1 photo in a sub-form attached to the main form record, then the main form will print on 1 page which is what i want [screenshot 1]. But if there are 2 or more photos attached to the main record then the print command button prints out 2 pages for 2 photos, 3 pages for 3 photos and so on [screenshot 2].
any ideas as to how to limit the print command button to print out only 1 page per record regardless of how many photos their are attached to each record??
thanks
I tried to follow the Allen Brown print the current record in the form and its not coming up. I can print all of the records but not the current.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to find a way to print the currently selected record (by clicking a button in the form) as a form. I know printing is almost always done in records, but they use the forms by hand before entering them into the computer database.
One tough part of this is that this printing function needs to be sustainable through revisions of the form, as we will be constantly updating it.
Is there a way to print the form with only the current record shown without creating a second form or report?
Why I cannot print a report using a single record in a form using Access 2007.
I have added the button, I am using the following code:
Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click()
Dim strReportName As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strReportName = "Receipt"
strCriteria = "[ID]='" & Me![ID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, acViewPreview, , strCriteria
End Sub
However when I click the button nothing happens. I have attached the database ...
I am using the Contacts Entry form, and when I am on a record that someone has paid I want to be able to print from the Receipt report that has a simple formed up letter.
I have a DB in Access 2007 which I'm having trouble with. I have a form, "Sub_Det_Frm", on which I would like to place a button to print the current record, (Primary Key is an autonumber "Employee Number") to a report "Sub_DetForm_Rpt".
I've used the instructions from, oops I can't show you the link! It's h(double t)p(colon)//allenbrowne(dot)com/casu-15(dot)html but I'm getting this error:
The expression On Click you entered as the property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Employee Details was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
This error occurs when an event has failed to run because Microsoft Office Access cannot evaluate the location of the logic for the event. For example, if the OnOpen property of a form is set to =[Field], this error occurs because Access expects a macro or event name to run when the event is fired.
I am still trying to get a hang of development in access 2010.
I would like to design a form with a listbox or a combobox which holds all 8 of my reports (a table has all the reports), with a Print and a Preview view buttons. In addition, the user must be able to select if they want to view the report by month, quarter and the year in question.
How do i have a specific report print or previewed based on the value selected in the listbox or combobox and the date criteria.
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Access I have created a button to print a preview prior to printing document it is entitle "NoVeteranMain" which works fine. Except I want it to save my document prior to printing preview how would I do it. If not after I edit it I have to re-save it prior to hitting button which generates print preview.
This is code that is generate upon click
Private Sub NoVet_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "NoVeteranMain", acViewPreview, , "ClientID = " & Me.ClientID
End Sub
I have a continuous form that displays a list of invoices (frmInvoiceList) based on an adjustable filter contained within the form. I have the filters working the way that I want them through VBa and I have a button on each record to open a report (rptInvoice). Inside that report, I have some controls to "print", "email", and "export to PDF". Again all that works just the way I want. The Form and the Report are based on a different query and each has an InvoiceID field to link.
What I am trying to do is put the Print, Email, and Export buttons on the main form which would perform the appropriate action for all the records that are displayed on the form. I've been able to get the Print function to work to a degree. It will print all the records, but it changes the background colors based on the alternating records. When I go to Email or Export, it creates a single file with multiple pages and each page is a new record, again with the alternating background colors.
Ideally, I would like to have a separate file exported for each record that can be renamed and archived separately. I'm not so concerned with the email function but if it would be possible to generate a separate report for each invoice, then pull the appropriate email address for the record, that would be really nice.
I've tried some "for" and "do" loops that I found through some Googling but none of the samples ended up working like I wanted.
