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.
I started access today and all my icons and menus are gone from the interface. I am forced to right click on all my queries and tables to perform any action. All I have at the top of my window is the usual "Microsoft Access" caption. Absolutely nothing else. Other than that, Access is fully functional provided I can use the right click commands. Has anyone encountered this? Help!
I am getting two different results when I preview or print a report. When I preview a report the report title and page title are populated with the strings I built and assigned to global variables. In the report load event the GVs are assigned to the text boxes. Everything works great. If I hit the print icon while previewing the report, those text boxes are populated with the right strings. The problem is I have the option to send the report directly to the printer without previewing it, using the code below.
When this is executed, the report title and page title text boxes are blank. I have put a debug.print (the 3 GVs) in the load event and it spits out the three strings, but the actual printout has no titles. The bound data always prints, but these unbound text boxes fail. I have even copied the string assignment to the open event and that did not work.
When data is input to my form and when i click on preview report, the preview report displays all results (my report source is from my query). However when I click on print preview a portion of data is missing. Basically is the check boxes I have in the report. They all are grayed out. These check boxes are unbounded and not related to the query. Basically I have an event procedure created upon clicking print preview as follows:
Private Sub PreviewMRO_Click() DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMRODataEntry", acViewReport If MROReason = "Repair" Then
[Code] ....
The selections are all drop down boxes in the form and upon selection it will populate the text boxes in my report. It seems to work perfectly upon clicking the preview report button but when I click on print preview the check boxes are grayed out.
When 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???
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
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?
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:
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.
Im trying to display a report in the snapshot viewer object that i placed on a form, the thing is that im having a problem filtering and applying the filter fields that i used to the actual report in the window.
Im having problems referring to the object, can someone help with like the syntax. Im trying to apply the sql statement that is generated to the preview window and the report.
I have the following code in the On Format Event of the report. It is used to hide duplicates which result from very loose Where parameters when I run Docmd.OpenReport. With tighter Where parameters there are no Duplicates.
I am aware that the On Format event does not fire and I am to use the On Paint event. However, the On Paint Event seems very limited. It does not have a Cancel and most code that i tried does not work.
Code: Private strLastGen As String 'Report Module Variable Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) 'If a duplicate Generator If Me.GeneratorNumber & Me.GeneratorName = strLastGen Then Cancel = True End If ' Save the Gen Num of this record strLastGen = Me.GeneratorNumber & Me.GeneratorName
I have built a new DB in Access 2010 to manage computer inventory for multiple 'agencies'. I built a report that pulls table info based on which agency is selected. I created a popup form that has a lookup combo box for all agencies, once the agency is selected, hit a button and the report opens up in print preview mode from a macro embedded into the form (I'm not very familiar with VBA anymore, but I am willing to learn), only problem is it opens up behind three other forms within the database (my switchboards for various forms and reports).
I have popup set to yes for all forms (so I can hide the ribbon), modal is set to no. The only way I can get the report to have focus on top is to set the popup to yes, but then I don't have the print preview buttons to print the darn thing.
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 really need help with this. I have a database that is quite large and is accessed through VPN. When I shrink and compact the database it goes to a respectable size. But over time everytime a report is previewed the size of the database grows. Or every access it grows to double its size in no time at all.
Any ideas... on what would make it grow and how to stop 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).
I have a button on my form that should open a report in Preview node.
On SOME users machines, it appears that absolutely NOTHING happens when the user clicks the button. (preview mode)
Report parameters that may have some bearing are as follows. (Default settings in most cases) Default View : Report View Allow Report View: Yes Allow Layout View: Yes Auto Center : Yes Auto Resize: Yes Fit to page: Yes
Pop_up: Yes (This is NOT the default setting, as I would prefer the report to pop-up. If the report does not open in pop up mode, the users tend to close the DB instead of just the report.)
On the user machines where the problem exists, I have turned off the pop-up blocker in their web browser. It seems to work when opening in Report View.
Button Macro parameters are: Report Name: My_Rpt_Name View : Print Preview Filter Name : Where Condition : Window Mode : Normal
Environment SQL back end (ODBC Connection to server) Access 2010 Front end
I am developing the DB in the bog standard install with no special permissions / add-ons. Also, my developer (log on) account is as a standard user, so there should be no (network) permission issues.
When troubleshooting on the user machines, If I open the report in design view and then open in Preview mode, it works.
Is the problem with the Form or the Macro or the Preview mode or maybe some Reg key that must be changed to allow reports as pop-ups?
I have 1 table, 1 form and 1 report. I am trying to get the report to display just one entry on the table at a time, so I can preview it, then print or create a pdf from it.
I am stumped when it comes to coding - a complete newbie to it if I may also add - but I am sure there is a way of just displaying the record that is currently open in the form, as the report.
And is there a way to get the report to just display and print one entry rather than the whole bunch!!
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.
Code below: Sub EnnakkoMyButtonCallbackOnAction(control As IRibbonControl) Select Case control.ID Case "MyBtn1" DoCmd.OpenReport "Tuotanto Ennakko", acViewPreview
I want to be able to print preview a report based on 1 record record selected in the subform. So using the example above i'd like to print the record on say 01/01/13 as a report that contains all the information from the item table and only the information on the 01/01/13 from the record table.
I added a "print preview" button to a report that does just that, shows the print preview. The issue I'm having is that I can't do anything in Access after I click that button. Everything in Access seems to stop working, I can't click on anything with my mouse. the only thing that does anything is that i can move the report up and down with the up/down/left/right keys. If I click on a different application that isn't Access (i.e. excel, spotify, email, etc.) and then go back to it, everything works fine.
I would like to show a report's print preview in a sub form. Is there any possible way? I don't want the user to see the datasheet view of the table so I decided to put on a report.
I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.
I've seen this question asked in multiple places but do not understand the answers (yet). I haven't worked with the ribbon and XML before.
I'm able to turn off the navigation panel and the ribbon completely which gives the user a nice, empty screen. However, when reports are selected, they open up in Print Preview but the ribbon doesn't return with the Print Preview.
In short, how do I get the Print Preview ribbon to return when generating a report?
I have a report which is accessed via a hyperlink in a form. I have the default view for the report set to Print Preview yet everytime I click the link the report opens in report view which I don't want.
The event for the hyperlink is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Dim strWhere As String If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits. Me.Dirty = False End If
[Code] .....
I have tried changing "acViewPreview" to "acViewReport" and "acViewNormal" and each time it is either going straight to print or opening in report view. I just want the report to open in print preview mode so I can decide if to print a hard copy or send to pdf.
