Paper Size On A Report

Feb 8, 2013

My Access 2010 application has many reports. On almost every report, the user can select a new paper size. This paper size is remembered, so the next time the user selects the same report, he no longer have to set the paper size (I guess this is the default behavior for Access programs).One report does not behave properly. This report is a LEGAL size report. EVERY times the user selects this report, it prints on LETTER size, so the form is split in two pages. If the user selects teh LEGAL size paper, it works, but the next time the report defaults back to LETTER size paper.

I checked everywhere in the code, nowhere the paper size is set. In development, I selected the report, I changed the paper size to LEGAL, I ran the report. The next time I check the paper size of the report, it is back as LETTER size.After my OpenReport statement, I tried manally setting the paper size with "Reports(xxx).Printer.PaperSize = acPRPSLegal" but my report still defaults to LETTER size paper.

Printing A Two Page Report On Both Sides Of A Piece Of Paper

May 11, 2005

Hi,
I have a two page report (it is formatted to always be exactly two pages) and I need to print it on the front (page one of the report) and on the back (page two of the report) of the same piece of paper. The less user input the better.

Is this an Access thing or a printer thing (We have a HP 6P).

Anyone doing this ???

Thanks

Mike

Is There A Report Size Limit?

May 23, 2006

I have a database of 700 or so records each with a image filename (the images are about 75kb). When I make a report from these records including the images it takes a long time, but eventually it creates the report on screen with all the images. However when I try to print the report the images are not there.
Is it just that the spool file or is it a limit in access?
Would adding memory to the printer help?

Thank you for your help

Report Image Size Problem

Sep 19, 2006

hi
very simply i am trying to print out a report that is comprised of 1 main report and 2 subreports with 1 image per page; all together on 1 page. i can print out 20 records maximum before my computer memory [or the printer memory] becomes full and the printing stops. the same happens if i try to do a snapshot.
what i need is some vb coding so that if my report is over 20 records long, the vb coding will print-out [or snapshot] the first 10 records, finish those records, then carry on with the next 10, and so on untill all the records have been printed.
is this possible??
any help appreciated

thanks

Size-changing Fields In A Report

Dec 11, 2007

I've asked this question in different forums before, and though some people say it can be done, I have not found anyone who is successful yet.

I have a report that puts down a person's address, however the address information is stored within the database in separate fields ('Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZIP'). The issue I have is with the City/State/ZIP. Some city names are longer than others, is it possible to have the fields adapt to the different word lengths.

Say the address is, Albany, NY 10023. The database would output this alright, but then if the city name is San Francisco, CA 94143, the fields are in disarray.

I have the same issue with names. Last name and first name are stored separately. I would like to display Last, First. My workaround has been to right-align the Last name, and put it adjacent to the left-aligned first name field. This works unless the person's last name is very long, disporportionately from the first name, in which case, it looks very much off center in the overall report.

Any help would be appreciated.

Reports :: How To Put Limit On Size Of A Report

Sep 30, 2013

I am creating a large report and I have reached the limit of the report page height at 55cm. Is there a way to change this value to 100cm or more.

It seems rather silly to put a limit on the size of a report.

Size Of Access Database Grows After Preview Of Report

Feb 13, 2008

Hi

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.

Thanks it is appreciated.

Reports :: Variable Report Depending On Data Size

Oct 3, 2013

I have now a report that span around 2 pages. It has subreports in the report that depening how many rows there are they can grow or shrink.I have the problem that the second page the top margin is to close to the top of the pager. The paper has a logo on the right top side. I can make the first page look nice under the logo, but the second page prints to close to the edge that prints over the logo. I did add a page break, but when the page 1 has more data, it flushes this to the next page. The page 2 is now page 3. How can I avoid that, or make it so that the margin of the second page/next page is on the correct lenght of the top. I tried it with the page setup, but it does not work.

Reports :: Inserting Font Size In A Report Through Programming

Jul 9, 2014

I have a form which gets information from the user and upon pressing a button I produce address labels for the user. The form calls a report which does the job. This works. Now the user would like to have parameters like fonttype, fontsize and fontcolour together with margins, row and column space so that the output can be better tailored to his needs. I have inserted combo boxes on the form to get these parameters from the user, but how am I going to insert these parameters in the report layout through programming. What should be the approach?

Reports :: Text Within Report Labels Different Size In Preview / Print?

Jan 12, 2015

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 am using Access 2000

Reports :: Unable To Print Landscape Oriented Report A4 Size

Mar 11, 2013

I have a landscape oriented report which is A4 size. When I select Landscape in print preview the result is cut off on the right. In the form's design mode I get a little green triangle on the top-left which tells me that the form is wider than the page size. Is this because I am using a default printer with a portrait setting?

I want to avoid having to change the default printer for each different form orientation. I am printing to a pdf printer (pdfCreator which doesn't appear to have a landscape output setting) while testing my design so as not to waste ink & paper.

I am using Windows XP SP3 with Access 2007.

Populate A Database Via Scanning In A Paper Form?

May 18, 2005

Hi folks,

Just wondering if it is possible to populate a database by scanning in a form into a scanner? For instance, if I had a standard paper form with typed data inside of the paper form's fields, to place that form into a scanner and have a program extract the characters in each one of the fields and place them into the appropriate fields in a database. I have heard of some agencies doing this, but don't know the names of software packages that would make this possible. Can anyone suggest some software packages or methods of doing this?

Thank you,

Joe

General :: Access To Display Paper Clip Icon

Dec 21, 2012

I am using the attachment field in my form in Access 2010. I downloaded a picture (a picture of paper clip) from the web to use it as the display image for the attachment field. When using the form, the paper clip picture is displayed so long as there is no attachment. When a file is attached, the display image changes to the type of file (in my case pdf). However, I want Access to display the paper clip icon.

Large Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?

Aug 29, 2005

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?

Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.

Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.


Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............
