I have a Form with a Command button that will cause a Report to run in Preview mode. My code is:
DoCmd.OpenReport "reportname", acPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom100
The zoom allows the report to be readable but I am unable to change the width of the preview window so the entire report is visible.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance for any help...
Hi,
I successfully made this work, but when opening a report to preview it (using a button click) . it doesn't show up, is there a workaround with this? Thanks in advance.

I have created a report with a subreport for my database. The user selects the project for which he/she wants to see a report. Once the project is selected, the report is displayed in a popup window and maximized in the print preview layout. This allows the user to view and read the report. Once this is done, there are no buttons or menus on the screen that allows the user to send the report to a printer or file.
Other than the report, there are minimize / maximize and close buttons at the top right of the window and page selection buttons at the bottom left of the window. If the user wants to print the report, they must either hit ctrl-P or right click the mouse on the screen to display a menu from which the user can select print to open a print dialog box. Is there any way to add a button or menu to the print preview that appears on the screen to make printing easier?
Hi,
I'm hoping to find out how to size my forms automatically and have them the same size (without manually sizing the window). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance....
I set my form to come up on startup as the default sortof page...
When it came up however it only opened up in a small window, and I wish that I could get it to come up as a fullsize "Maximized" window. What do i do to get this to happen? Also, i cant re-size the form when its in form view. All i can do is click the X.
HELP ME PLEASE!!
Hi all
Just found this forum, looks great!
When a control like a check box or radio button is on a form, how can you make the size of the actual control bigger? When changing the size in Properties, it only increases the size of the black border.
Thanks

Access 2007 is behaving very peculiar concerning sizing of forms. For example, some open at an enormous size (25 plus inches) when the width size in the property box is 8 inches. I've tried various combinations of Auto Center, Auto Resize and Fit To Screen -- all with bazarre, unpredictable results. Does anyone know if there is an "issue" (bug) in Access 2007 Trial concerning form sizing? Thanks.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Access 2010 on Windows 8.1. I have a subform that has 18 small MSGraph objects on it. I am requerying each chart when the user selects different filter options. The charts are very simple (no legends, no titles, 3 columns on each, number format in %) the MSGraph controls are all the same height and width. I have am using a public sub to try to control some of the formatting eg font size and style for ticklabels and colour of the columns (which all seems to be working) but despite this consistency, the graphs all render different sizes failing to "Stretch" to fill the MSGraph control. The tickLabels are also different sizes despite turning Autoscaling off and setting a font size. I can't set the chartArea.Height or width. At this stage I would settle for them all to be the same size -
Code:
Public Sub GreatFormats(EBSArea As String, GrNumber As Integer, SFrmName As String, FrmName As String)
Dim GrphName As String
Dim GrpType As String 'Status or Priority Graph
Const twips As Long = 1440
Dim MySForm As Form
Set MySForm = Forms(FrmName).Controls(SFrmName).Form
For I = 1 To GrNumber

Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.
My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I attempt to "OpenReport" using a command button on my Form, the report comes up with the right data but the Form is in front of it. Ideally what I like to do is have the Form minimized/invisible so I could view the Report Preview and then when I close the Report Preview have the Form restored to its original size and location so I could continue to work with it -- It would even be OK for the Form to stay in its original size and location so long as the Report Preview were in front of it.
I hope this is an easy one???
Thanks
Hi,
just a thought i have just come up with, is is possible to have a print preview of a report on a form?
I was just wondering if it was possible to have record information on one side of the from and then a screen shot/ scaled down view of a report on the other. Would it involve the bound property object? Haven't done any research on the matter, just something that crossed my mind.
Any ideas wlecome
Hi All,
I have never done this and not sure if it is possible but thought I would ask.
Is it possible to show within a window maybe, a print preview of a report on a Form?
I am going to assume that the answer is no? But I could be wrong?
Look forward to anyones input on this one.:p

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
I have a database programmed by someone which has different section spattered by rectangles/ boxes ..
When I do print preview everything looks good but when I print the document, the rectangles/boxes disappears. Why and what can I do ..
Click on the image to see how it looks on preview..
Every time a report is opened, it displays the page at 100% - thus allowing you to view a small portion of the document.
Is there a way to lock the zoom at 75% to view the overall page upon opening the report?
Thanks,

I'm posting this question to Forms forum because I'm sure I can't do this with a report--though a report is really what I need to be using.
My database has buttons on the forms to preview a "page printout" report based on the data in the record displayed. The reports - formatted to closely resemble printed questionnaires provided by the client - are based on queries, run with criteria conditions to match the record on the screen. So, to run the report, you have to have queriable data -- i.e. the data shown in the form has to have been saved to table. So the print preview buttons include a Save command.
The client would like to be able to view the printout of a potential new (or changed) record without saving. (There is an audit trail that tracks changes and deletions once a record has been saved.) The only way I can think of that this might be done would be to print directly off of the form--which would produce un-pretty results at best, I'm afraid, and seems like a headache to set up. But would it even work? Using the file menu to preview printout of a form seems to save the record.
So, my questions:
1. Is there something I'm missing such that I could run the reports without saving the data?
2. If I DID print out the form instead of the report, can even THAT be done without saving the record? (They would only need to preview without saving, not actually print.)
Hi,
The problem is when the users views a report there is no toolbar for them to print the report. The user can click on file print but they would prefer to see the icons on the toolbar.
I have set the startup to not show the toolbars I have also tried just to show each one individually with no joy.
How do I show the print preview toolbar. I do not want the user to be able to design the report I only want to allow them acccess to print the report or maybe export to word.
Any help I would be greatfull. Thanks PWF
I've created a simple listbox on a report in MS Access 2010 so that there are two options A or B. Default is option A and I am able to change that to option B when in Report View, but if I switch to Print Preview, the report is refreshed and value defaults back to A.I have done something similar with a check box connected to VBA, still wondering how to use a list box to print optional values.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen the report print preview shows up, the entire print preview bar is visible but greyed out, so nothing can be selected. When the user clicks on the report to zoom in, then the buttons become available and the user can print. At that point the user selects the printer and prints the document.They all share a networked back end and a locally installed front end (same version for everyone)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a new simple db in Access 2007.
In the Reports, when I go to print preview or even print it none of the numeric characters are displayed.
It does not seem to matter if the character is in a numeric field or a text field and only seems to be characters 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
In the fields with a negative value the - sign is dispayed!
I have checked and appears to be only Access this is occurring with (Excel seems fine).
I have checked another database and it happens there as well.
Can you force print preview to open in zoom 100% mode with VBA?
