Looking to print an access 2000 report on a 3 part - 9 1/2" x 4" carbon form. I'm using an Epson LQ-590 dot martrix printer. Does anyone know how I can set this up under the page setup of the report? I'm trying to print an access report I made with comapny and customer name to these 3 part carbon meter tickets. I'm really in a jam. Any help is gratly appreciated. Thanks....
View RepliesI have searched all over google for help on this one, so now I enlist help from the good folds at the MS Access Help Center...
I have been given the task of updating a particular form our company has been using for over 10 years. The form was originally created to print on color coded carbon copy form with 5 sheets of paper. The form gets printed via a dot matrix printer (which pounds thru all 5 sheets). At this time, the form is done in MS Access 97 - and simply prints all fields via the print command.
Certain sections of the form do not print on all copies because the carbon copy paper masks the fields. I.E. the bottom sheet does not show the 'bill to' information but all other copies do.
So, I was asked to make the existing form print to our standard Laser Jet printers - but to hide certain items per page. I have determined how to print the form 5 times by simply adding some basic VB code to a command button. What I can't figure out is how to hide certain fields as the old carbon copy form once did. I.E. Print the same page of a form 5 times, but each page has different information on it per page.
Any help would be appreciated - thanx
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,
Code:INSERT INTO [Status Log] ( Status, Edit_Date, Event, Claim_ID )SELECT [Status Lookup].Status, Now() AS Expr1, "3rd Party Denial" AS Expr3, [Claim Report Info].[Claims Header].Claim_IDFROM [Status Lookup] RIGHT JOIN ([Claim Report Info] LEFT JOIN [Status Log] ON [Claim Report Info].[Claims Header].Claim_ID = [Status Log].Claim_ID) ON [Status Lookup].status = [Status Log].StatusGROUP BY [Status Lookup].Status, Now(), "3rd Party Denial", [Claim Report Info].[Claims Header].Claim_IDHAVING ((([Status Lookup].Status)=[Forms]![claiminformation]![ReportForm]![reportstatus1]) AND (("3rd Party Denial")="![claiminformation]![ReportForm]![txthiddenvalue]") AND (([Claim Report Info].[Claims Header].Claim_ID)=[Forms]![claiminformation]![ReportForm]![Report_ClaimID]));
here is my current query.
i'm trying to append data to a table from my form.
"![claiminformation]![ReportForm]![txthiddenvalue]"
but since it's my value from txthiddenvalue isn't anywhere in my query how do i get this to work?
I have Fields Form in this order:
SubpartID
PrimaryID
Discription
Qty
UnitCost
NetWght
Here is the VBA Code:
Private Sub cboSubpartID_Change()
Me.PrimaryID = Me.cboSubpartID.Column(1)
Me.Discription = Me.cboSubpartID.Column(3)
Me.Qty = Me.cboSubpartID.Column(4)
Me.UnitCost = Me.cboSubpartID.Column(5)
Me.NetWght = Me.cboSubpartID.Column(7)
End Sub
Now the SubpartID is not coming up at all...Its registering the PrimaryID instead. So I changed the Column# Still only getting the PrimaryID number instead the correct one. I changed the lookup on the Table...Still not able to get the SubpartID to show up in the form..
I'm writing some "Help" for an Access database that I've created, but lots of others will be using.
All I can think of is to type it all into a form which is then displayed when the user clicks a button I'll create on the menu. As it's going to be a long form, I want to put a "Contents" section at the top, with hyperlinks to relevant sections further down.
Is there a way to make one label (cos that's all the text is) hyperlink to another label in the same form? Or should I be going about this in a completely different way?
I've read a lot of the hyperlinks Q&As in the forums, but haven't found the answer to this yet. Thnaks in advance for any help.
Im trying to make a data entry form which will add a new record to a database. My problem is when I associated it with a table. it starts off with a record already populated in the fields. Can someone tell me how to start off with a blank form to add new information.
Part 2
I wish to have a combo box that will drop down with SSN#s and populate the Address field automatically so that a person with additional orders will not have duplicated addresses but just one main address.
Thanking you all in advance!
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.
Hello,
I have a continuous subform that shows records from a table [not the table the parent form is based on] - a check box, a text field with text, and a blank text field for notes.
When I click on one particular of the checkboxes I see in form view, I can make the notes field/s visible. Unfortunately, that means right now that the fields for all the records become visible.
If at all possible, I would like to set this up so that only one particular text box becomes visible.
Could somebody please tell me if this can be done, and help me do it?
Thanks a lot.
I have a text box and currently this is my control source
="Testing " & [test]/3
test = 1000 so my text box reports:
Testing 333.333333333333
Is there a way to make it into a form like $333.33...Also is there a way to make [test]/3 come out in a money text form? like "Three hundred thirty three dollars and thirty three cents.

I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.
i have a search form with a sub form displaying the results, how can i send the results to a report to print out or just print the results?:confused:
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form with multiple subforms. When I hit print selected record I get a blank sheet of paper. What could be set to not allow the data or the background of the form to print?
If I just print the subform out by itsself it works good. However when I have the main form open then try to print I get blank pages.
I am sure someone changed a fairly small setting, but I do not know what has been changed. Thanks.
:eek: When I go to print the form, it repeats the detail section over and over. Instead of being one page, it is 1414. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

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.
Your help is greatly appreciated:)
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
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "rptOrders2"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_btnPrtOrderFrm_Click
End Sub
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

Hello all- New here and working with a database for my boss. I did not create this rather am modifying it. I have a table (vehs) that contains information for three different departments regarding their vehicles. This database also has a form that prints (when clicked once) all of this data to the local printer. I need to make three sub forms to print similarly but just by department number (in other words only department 1's vehicle data) I'm not too big an access guru so if I need to supply any more data please let me know
Thanks,
John
I had made my own database for my own business.
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.
Please help
After having designed a series of forms, I have just been told that users would like to occasionally print the data.
On testing this, it seems that the data does not print onto 1 page.
Are there any settings to fit data to 1 page wide only?
Aternatively, is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps by using a report or something like that?
The form has a whole load of calculated fields (calculated control boxes with expressions) so would I run into any problems doing it ths way ?
Thanks.
Having trouble printing after I performed a filter. Have a subform with continuous forms that I put various filters on..., however when printing, all the records print and not just what was filtered...Is there a way around this. Basically, I would like to be able to print out only the filtered records in my form view.

I created a form that opens to a blank form. I also have a print button on the form. I want to be able to print the blank form, but nothing happens unless the primary key has a value in it. Is there a way to print just a blank form? I have been working at this problem for a few weeks. Please help!
