I'd like to directly print a report from a button on a form.
I want to click the button and the report just prints to my default printer without any other user interaction.
Currently the print dialog appears but I don't want it.
I am having an issue with viewing a report. I have a button set up to show the print preview of the report. There is a chart based on the report's record source, and two sub-reports showing related data. The print preview section however shows the the chart area where it would appear is blank, i.e. there is a white area where the chart should go. There is no error message. The two sub-reports appear correctly. If I go to print the report, however, the chart appears, and it will also appear if I change the view type (e.g. to layout and back again).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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 printing invoices and need to print the label in a subreport at the end of each customer only once. This is what I want it to look like:

SC $155.00
NOT

I am having a problem updating a record on a table called BookInTable . The field I want to update is called Engineer and the record is found using the field Barcode. I have a form with 2 text boxes BarTxt and EngTxt as well as a button called SaveBtn. on the OnClick event of the SaveBtn I put the following code
Code:
Private Sub SaveBtn_Click()
If IsNull(Me![BarTxt]) Or (Me![BarTxt]) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter a value!", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Search Criterion!"
Me![BarTxt].SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET Engineer = " & Me!EngTxt & " WHERE BarCode ='" & Me![BarTxt] & "'"
End Sub
But this is bringing up the enter Parameter value dialog box for whatever I type into EngTxt. If I enter text into that box and then click okay it then updates to the record. how can I stop the from enter Parameter value dialog box appearing?
Hi,
I used the code below to hide all the toolbars and then created my custom ReportToolbar so the user can print the report. All works OK; however, the PRINT button on my custom toolbar sends the report imidiately to the printer. How can I create a button that I could add to my custom toolbox which would open the dialog box that allows to choose the printer, number of pages to print, etc.. (same action as I can get by going to File->Print)?
PS> Also, is there any way to remove the drop down arrow from my custom toolbox? I disabled Customize Toolbox but the pulldown arrow still appears. I found making an MDE would take care of this, but was wondering if there was another solution.
Code used to hide toolbars:For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i
Users of the db I am working on print using a regular network printer 95% of the time. 5% of the time however, they need to change that printer to another one, or to a PDF printing program. All of the printers they need are installed in their Printers folder.I can think of two possible courses of action here:
1. load the printer dialog box (preferred)
2. provide them with a custom interface to select a temporary printer
I don't want them to have to load the printers folder and switch the printer temporarily.how to load the printer dialog.
Is there a way to get information in the print dialog box (File -> Print)? Like when i click ok or cancel? Or any other way that i will be able to know that the report is sent to printer or being printed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 'print' icon prints whatever is on the page as soon as it is clicked.
I'd like it to show the print dialog detailing which page / how many copies / which printer and so on.
how to do this?
I tried to customize the toolbar by adding the print icon from the File toolbar , but this is the same 'straight-to-print' as I already have.
This for an app being used in Access 2003. I'm trying to (sort of) automate naming a PDF report. After the user selects a printer from the print dialog, if the printer name is like "*PDF*" then I want to put the PDF file name in the clipboard so it can be quickly pasted in the file name of the PDF printer's save dialog.
Something like this:
Code:
Dim strSelectedPrinter as string
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt1", acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint
[Code]....
but that returns the name of the default printer, not the selected printer.
I want to put a print button on my data entry form that prints the current record in a report that is laid out all nice and pretty. I found this code that works, but it goes straight to the printer - it does not bring up the printer dialog so you can select a printer.
Code:
Private Sub RecordPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[Code] ....
How do I get it to bring up the printer dialog?
I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
how I get rid of the lines appearing in a report? I've set everything to transparent but the group header and subsequent records in the subreport all have separating lines.

One of the Field Names in my table is titled ActionDeadlineDate, with Date/Time selected as the Data Type for the field. On one of my forms I have created a text box based on this field. Under Properties/Control Source for this text box I have inserted the following formula:
=[DateReceivedinADR]+40 Basically, this forces the text box to auto populate to a date 40 days beyond whatever date is entered in the DateReceivedinADR text box. On the form itself everything works flawlessly.
I have created a query that includes the ActionDeadlineDate field. However, when I run a report off this query it will not populate the date for this field. On the report this column is just blank, with no date indicated.
All other date fields I use on the form (at least those without an underlying date formula) appear as they should. Is there a way to make a date based on a formula appear on the report as well?
Hope I didn't make this too complicated. Maybe what I am asking for is not possible since a date formula is being utilized in the text box, rather than a simple date.
I have been modifying an existing report that was formatting and printing fine but since I modified it (adding some text boxes and moving some controls around), it is now adding a blank page.
For example, If the report was normally 2 pages long with page numbers, it is inserting a blank page without page number between page 1 and page 2......
I just updated to the latest version of Office 365 and now have MS Ascess "2016 MSO (16.0.4229.1029) 32-bit" installed on my Win 10 PRO 64-bit system.
I have images in several reports that I print out. These images displayed and printed just fine under the older version of Access. Under the new version, they neither display, nor print. They are visible in Report, Layout and Design view, but not in print view. They do not print nor do they export to a PDF file either.
I have report that i have in preview. In that report i have ribbon that has buttons close and print. Close works fine, with print it goes ok but when "printer selection" comes, i try to change printer it informs that not enough memory. All this code that is in ribbon buttons is in VBA.
What could be the reason for memory stuff or how could this be made that this inform wouldn't come.

I'm having an odd problem with a form. We noticed this since migrating it from adp to accdb.
It's a form with two subforms in datasheet view, that contain data on a certain employee, which is selected on the main form.
If you use print preview before printing, it all prints out fine. However, if you use quick print, it does something weird. If you Pull up Employee A, then Employee B, and do a quick print, it will print the data for Employee A in subform 1, and the data for Employee B in subform 2. It displays correctly on the screen though, and the 2nd time you quick print, it comes out right.
I've been asked to make sure only certain users in my database are able to print anything (i.e. Administrators). Is there any option/property to do this?
I have already built in User Access controls using the ctl.Tag property. The only way I can think off the top of my head is when a 'general user' uses it, to ensure that every control is displayed 'on screen only'. This of course doesn't stop them printing - just makes them print blank pages!
How to open the regular filterdialog (with the checkboxen for the different values) in a report with VBA. With the regular filterdialog I mean the one you get when you select a column and then push the filterbutton.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a button on a FORM to print the current record with the following code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.
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.
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.
Currently I have five separate reports setup in Access 2010 (that are running off of five separate queries). Since they have different data/fields, I was unable to combine into one query & one report.

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
