I have a subform that displays results based on selections from cascading boxes on the form. I am trying to print them to a report. I think my procedure is correct for the print button and Im afraid my problem is that the form is not based on a seperate query. Is that they only way to be able to print? It is based on procedures defined in the cascading boxes. How can correct it so it will print the results to a report? Thanx.
I am trying to save my form that i have created as a report by right clicking on the form and choosing save as report. However, my form includes a subform but the subform does not show up in the report. Any ideas as to why this and how it can be shown????
I have a form with a subform. In the subform (based on a different form) I need a button to close the master form. In the subform I need to find out what the master form is so I can close it. Since I use the same subform in multiple forms I can't really hard code the name of the master form.
I have attached a condensed copy of my form/sub-form that has calendar controls on it for the RecvdDt and the Compliance date. I have it set up the say way as I have on other databases and it will not close/populate once opened. I have reset the events on it multiple times and I just can't get it to go.
Can anyone please take a quick look and help me determine why it is not working on this form yet works on others that I have.
Can anyone tell me how to have Access automatically close a report without saving any changes. I do not mind if the user closes the report manually but do not want Access to prompt the user to save changes. I want it to automatically abandon any changes that were made.
Could anyone give some assist on how to print only the subform in a form. I'm looking to create a print preview command button that will allow only the sub form to be printed... Thanks for the assist.....
I have my subform on my main form and when I press the print button that I created it prints the main form 200 times due to the amout of records in the table.
When I open the subform by its self then press the print button that I created it will print what I want, the subform only. Please help!! I want to print this subform from the main form.
I am using the following dialog box to ask whether or not the user wants to print the report in the Close event of a report. I really need help finishing the code. As the user presses "X" to close the report, I would it to be that if the user says yes...the report prints. If the user says no...the report closes.:cool:
Private Sub Report_Close() Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString Msg = "Print the Report?" Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion Title = "Report" Help = "DEMO.HLP" Ctxt = 5000 Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt) If Response = vbYes Then
I have a form that takes info from another form and then adds some from it's own data and then it proceeds to print a bunch of reports based on what tests were done etc. When I just print them (With preview) I have a function in the first report that prints (in its Close event) to close the form. No problem. I have a new slick little pdf thing that automatically names the files and puts them in the right spot etc. With this, after the first report is printed it closes thereby closing the form which needs to be open for the rest of the reports to open. Just put the close event on the last report that prints you say? I don't always know which report will be that last, it depends on the tests.
How can I check to see when all the reports have been printed and then close the form. Is there some way to have the form close itself after a certain time? Am I going to have to make the users close the form themselves? Let me know if this is confusing. Upon reading over this it does sound a bit confusing. Thank you for your help and patience.
Need to know if there is a way to exclude a subform from printing when I print forms?
Here's what I'm trying to do - Have a form that contains multiple subforms that are linked back to the master form. One of these subforms is a memo which they would like to see on the "preliminary or draft" copy of this form but would like to exclude it from the "final" copy.
I would think there is some why to do it but I'm stumped at the moment.
I have a database that has a form with 3 subforms. Once a user has entered date, there is a command button to print the current record. The problem is, the 3 subforms have a very thick black boarder around them. Is there anyway to remove the thick boarder? Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to develop a service dispatch DB and would like to have a print workorder control button. I have it working OK until I enter subsequent records into the subform. OR..am I better off creating a report for the specified workorder? IF so, how? Any direction would be appreciated.
While using a relational database in Access 2003, I am writing a letter to people, reminding them what resources they have been allocated. The short letter is in a form and a subform has been used to list the resources - between 1 and 5 lines.
If I isolate one person by filtering, I get x identical pages, where x = the number of resources that have been allocated to them. Therefore, some people get one page, others could get 5 identical pages.
Can anyone advise how I can just show and print one page per person, irrespective of the number of resources allocated to them? I can get the correct result in a report but need it in a form so that the users can edit and select the letters to be printed easily.
I have done a search on this forum and found all the postings relating to printing only the current record for a report. I have a command button and have followed what these posts say. The report prints the current record but leaves out the data from the subform.
The database is a recipe organizer. The main form is called Recipes and the subform contains the ingredients for each recipe. This subform is called Ingredients.
I set up a command button with the following code:
Private Sub Print_Recipe_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Print_Recipe_Click
frmTaskTracker -subfrmInbox (Datasheet View - based on a query)
frmUpdateInboxItem
subfrmInbox displays a summary of tasks on a task list. The user navigates to frmUpdateInboxItem from frmTaskTracker. After updating a record from frmUpdateInboxItem, it is possible that it the record in question will no longer meet the requirements to have it listed on subfrmInbox.
I have attempted to add code to the on close event of frmUpdateInboxItem to requery the sub form on frmTaskTracker but am not getting the syntax correct.
correct my code? Alternatively is there is a more correct way to do this, I'd be happy to learn it.
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub cmdClose_Click() Me.[frmTasktracker]![subfrmInbox].Requery DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmUpdateInboxItem" End Sub
I am creating an access database that holds customer information for a friend of mine. I am struggleing to think of ways to make Access do several tasks.
I have created several forms that display when reletive buttons are clicked and some run automatically using queries, one of which runs a query that displays any upcoming service inervals that are within thirty days of the current date, and allows the user to print a report that is designed to be a service notice for the relevant Customer/s which contains the customers address, phone numbers and service due date with a small pre-made text insert that advises the Customer about the upcoming service recommedation. The Form also provides the ability to print address labels for the same customers, making it quick and easy to send them out by post. The problem that I am having is that I would like the customers information that has already been printed to be removed or greyed out in someway so that the query does'nt print out duplicates but also have the ability to allow user control to reprint any result that may for any reason need reprinting.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I've set up a simple database. I have a form in it for inputting information and then there is a command button on the bottom which prints out a report I've created with the information on it. This is all working great except it prints evey record and I only want the current record printed out.
I've tried the help and it goes into detail about OpenReport and PrintOut in macros. I have no idea what a macro is or what to do with it.
Can anybody please help me and give me step by step instructions as to how to print out only the current record in the report from the command button.
I have a form (entry screen to enter data) I then created a report in the layout I need for my order form. I want to creat a button that a user can press and it will print the current record to the report (order form layout)
Here is my current code for the print button on the form page: Private Sub btnPrtOrderFrm_Click() On Error GoTo Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
The only problem is when I tell it to print if I am on record number 2 on the form, it prints both record 1 and record 2. I only want the current record i am in to print. Any ideas much appreciated
Hi all, i'm having a rather annoying problem. When I view my report I have 2 sets of conditional formatting that run, one that changes the back colours of certain fileds when the criteria is meet, and the second, the text colour of certain fields, both of which work fine when previewing the report. However, when I print the report, any of the back colour in the preview does not print out but text colour does. If I print from another office programme i.e. Word, block colour is printed fine its just seems to not work in my access.
Please note that if the same report is printed from another computer, it prints fine.
Please does anyone have any idea on why this is happening and how to sort it. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.
I am trying to print a report from a form. Once i enter an order detail i finish off by printing a letter. At the moment we are doing this via a query by entering the order id.
I want to automate this so for the form record i am in i want a button to print a report for that record only.
I know this can be done as i rember doing this in college but i cant get my head round it at the moment.
Hi, Ive read all I can on forums and web and am still unable to print the current forms report using a command buttons on click. This is the code i have been playing with:
Dim strDocName As String Dim strWhere As String strDocName = "Home_Oxygen_Report" 1. 'strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= Me!Home_Oxygen_Form!general_info.HospitalNumber" 2. strWhere = "[general_info.HospitalNumber]= "" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & """ 3. 'strWhere "[general_info.HospitalNumber]='" & Me![general_info.HospitalNumber] & "'" DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewPreview, , strWhere Number 3 gives the closest result but it prompts me to enter the primary key when i hit the command button but i need it to do this automatically. The primary key is a text box not number. Note that the primary key is HospitalNumeber of Table general_info (form and reports record source is query of many tables).
I inserted an image (jpg) in a report, it appears in PrintPreview, but not when I print it on my printer. Please help me. I do not if the problem is with my printer or I'm doing something wrong when inserting the image.
update: It seems to work when printing from Print icon, but does not work when printing from File/Print menu. Is this a known bug?
