Reports :: Possible To Change The Default Printer For The Report?

Sep 18, 2014

My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.

When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.

If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.

If I change my workstation default printer to

The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).

Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?

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.

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.

Access Alters Default Printer Setting

Nov 14, 2007

When opening Access, the default printer changes from "Letter" to "User-Defined". The output is then unreadable. I then change it back to "Letter" and all is fine until I reopen Access with the same result.
I'm using Access 2003 with a Brothers HL1440
How can I make Access leave the printer's default setting as it is?

Reports Printing To My Own Printer

Jan 10, 2008

Good morning,

I've created a pretty powerful Access Database that pulls information out of some ODBC tables we have on our local server. Of course, I created the database and all the forms and reports on my work computer here. But, when I was finished, I sent that entire database out to probably 20 or 30 people in the company. On a daily basis, they run the same program from their own computer and they like to print/export/etc. the reports that are produced. However, I don't understand why those reports print our on my personal printer (the printer is on the network). If they have a default printer at their site, why wouldn't it print there? Also, I haven't included any printing macros or VBA coding. I'm tired of having 30 or 40 sheets of paper print out on my printer daily. Any suggestions?

Reports :: Unable To Produce A Report Which Uses A Static Design And Does Not Change

Jun 13, 2013

I'm trying to produce a report which uses a static deisgn and does not change. For example,I require in the detail of the report a table say 3 * 8 ....and in the report I need the data to fill each one of these cells. However I may not have 8 records , therefore I need the remaing columns/cells empty - the design of 3 * 8 must not change... at the moment I have a dynamic design so if i have 3 records I have 3 *3 table leaving a massive gap on the report.

Reports :: How To Automate Select Printer Without Using Dialog Box

Jul 16, 2013

I have a database with a mail label printer and another printer attached to the computer. I would like the user to hit the command button for each of the printers and have the selected data printed without having to select which printer to use each time.

Note: Printer "set up" doesn't work, even when form is in design view, because after print is done, back to dialogue box when trying to print the next time.

Reports :: Find PaperSize Value Of Printer For A Specific Form

Apr 17, 2013

I have a custom form setup for 1up 1.5inch labels on the print server. We are printing these on Okidata Printers using an Epson driver.

I want to know how you can find the specific printersize number value for a form called "1_5upLabels" which is a custom form.

I am not looking to do this manually in the page setup for the report but to programmatically so that it's dynamic.

Is there a way I can loop through the forms for this printer and check for the form name?

Error Printing A Access Report To An Epson Printer

Jun 14, 2005

I have recently changed computers from a WindowsNT to and XP. When using the NT machine, I am able to print my Access report. However, when I hook up the XP machine and request a report from one specific database, I get the following message....this message also comes up if I try to open print preview or page setup.

"There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable."

I don't think it is a printer error as the error is occurring in this one database. I have successfully printed a test page and can open up other Access databases and print. I also tried converting the database to the 2002 format....but that did not make a difference either. There must be a setting in the database that is causing the error.....

Does anyone have any suggestions???

Modules & VBA :: Can Send A Report Directly To Printer From Code

May 19, 2014

Can you send a report directly to the printer? We have Clients with multiple Contact Notes, by multiple Clinicians, each of these are separate tables. Every month we print two reports for each client that had at least one contact in that date-range. Usually 200 clients, takes a lot of time. My approach so far is a query within a make-table query to get a list of unique client ID's that had one contact in the date-range. Then I use that table in code to create a recordset, use a Do Loop within that where I print the two reports for the 1st client, move to next record and loop. Now that I've got it working I'm not sure how to print all the reports My 1st question, can you send a report directly to the printer from code? The printer is a networked Konica Minolta Biz-hub so I think it can handle that many jobs being queued that fast.

Forms :: Added A Print Button To Form To Send Report To Printer

Feb 10, 2014

I have a project which produces a report of names, addresses, etc. I added a print button to the form to send the report to the printer. The code is as follows:

Private Sub Command32_Click()
Docmd.SetWarnings False
'Docmd.OpenReport "rptAddresses", acViewNormal
Docmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint
Docmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

Both alternatives in the code produce the same result described following.However, the printed report includes only the first 2 colums of about 10 of the 90 plus records. If I send to to a PDF, it works fine. If I do a print view on the screen ir looks fine.

Reports :: Having Field In Report Change Based On Another Field

I have a report that is looking up min and max quality specifications for a product. The table with the specifications has a Yes/No check box field for when the specs are defined as "Internal". So the table looks like Product/MinValue/MaxValue/Internal

I want the report to display "TEST AND RECORD" when the Internal box is checked where the MinValue and MaxValue (that are stored in the table) would be displayed otherwise.

Default Value Does Not Change For Old Records

Mar 19, 2014

I have a column for default value of today's date "Date()". In the next column there is formula for no of days which calculates as

No. of days = ([Today's Date] - [Audit Date]/7*5 (/7*5 excludes sat and sunday).

My problem is that default value of date does not change as i open the table everyday. I know why. Coz i introduced the date column after 200 records already entered.

Now today's date only changes if new record is inserted.

How to get current today's date everyday automatically ? when we open the database next day !

note that I am using Today's date only for calculating number of day's formula. otherwise no function of this column.
