I have a button on a FORM to print the current record with the following code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
But what I need is that before printing, open the preview to set the margins and page size ... or at least to pre-configure so that when you press the button, and comes preformatted.
I have VBA code for a Print Preview button on the main form that previews the current record in a separate Report using this code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdPrintRecord_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[code]....
I use this Print Preview code on a Button in the Form Header. The Main form lists head of household information. I also have a tabbed control with three tabs that have SubForms for Address, Children and Contact details. The problem I have is that if any of the subforms are left blank I get a Run-Time Error '3021': No Current Record. If I Debug (press the button), it takes me straight to this line:
Code:
varAge = DateDiff("yyyy", varBirthDate, Now)
highlighted in Yellow.Anyone on my database must have an address, should have contact details and could have children. If any one of these is blank then the print preview will not work.I would like to know how to stop this error happening for blank records in my subforms.
In Access I have created a button to print a preview prior to printing document it is entitle "NoVeteranMain" which works fine. Except I want it to save my document prior to printing preview how would I do it. If not after I edit it I have to re-save it prior to hitting button which generates print preview.
This is code that is generate upon click
Private Sub NoVet_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "NoVeteranMain", acViewPreview, , "ClientID = " & Me.ClientID
End Sub
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
[Code] ....
Report says 'No Current Record' when viewing with print preview, even though it works fine in report view?What did I do?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a form that that contains a button that opens a report. The code I use to open said report is:
Code : DoCmd.OpenReport "Comp and NB Targets Q4", acViewPreview, , strWhere
The issue is that occasionally when the user prints from that preview, it can instead print out the form in the background that was used to open the report.
This seems to happen at random and I have not yet found a pattern or solution to the problem.
Is there a reason this could be happening and is there anyway to stop it?
Can you force print preview to open in zoom 100% mode with VBA?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to put a print button on my data entry form that prints the current record in a report that is laid out all nice and pretty. I found this code that works, but it goes straight to the printer - it does not bring up the printer dialog so you can select a printer.
Code:
Private Sub RecordPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[Code] ....
How do I get it to bring up the printer dialog?
Like the title says I need a command button to print preview and email two reports. I tried using macros but the problem I have is that it'll send out two emails instead of one email with two attachments. The other problem is that it won't recognize current pages information so it'll show two blank reports. But If I go to next record and come back in form view, it reognizes the changes and the reports look fine. Any help would be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently am trying to print the current record that I have selected on my form and the subform that I have on the same page. If I try to print selected record it will only print out the main form correctly and will print out the first record on the sub form. I have tried to make a reprot of the current form and it only will do the main form and nothing from the sub form. I am willing to try whatever method would work in getting this to work. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have made a navigation form that prints the current record out as a PDF and also the option to send the current record by email as a PDF. Both work perfect when you open the form outside the navigation form. But when you open it inside the navigation form, it does not print any of the information.
The problem is in the Query report, In the criteria box for field [RequsetID] it has
Code : [Forms]![FRMRequestForm]![RequestID]
(The above works outside the navigation form.)
I have also tried adding the navigation form name
Code : [Forms]![Main]![FRMRequestForm]![RequestID]
But none work.
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.)
When I have the Home and Create default ribbons showing... then when I choose to Preview a report the Print Preview Ribbon is displayed and the Home and Create Ribbons are hidden or not visible.I have created a CustomRibbon and this CustomRibbon is not hidden when I choose to preview a report. The Print Preview ribbon is shown but the CustomRibbon keeps the focus and is not hidden.I would like for the CustomRibbon to not be visible.

Hello everyone,
How can i have a form with a "Print" button on it for print a report instead of going to file, print?
I will appreciate if a sample of such database can also be attached.
Stay well.
I need to Print a single record from a form but using a report layout.
I have created the form and created a report. A button on the Form kciks off the print but I get all records rather than just the one shown on the Form. Whats a really simple way of just selecting the Current record.
Where do I put an instruction saying print only this record:confused:
hi
i have 3 queries brought together in 1 form. i do not want a report to be printed out just the current record in form view. this is because i have a number of images per record.
if i print out the current record and it only has 1 photo in a sub-form attached to the main form record, then the main form will print on 1 page which is what i want [screenshot 1]. But if there are 2 or more photos attached to the main record then the print command button prints out 2 pages for 2 photos, 3 pages for 3 photos and so on [screenshot 2].
any ideas as to how to limit the print command button to print out only 1 page per record regardless of how many photos their are attached to each record??
thanks
I tried to follow the Allen Brown print the current record in the form and its not coming up. I can print all of the records but not the current.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a DB in Access 2007 which I'm having trouble with. I have a form, "Sub_Det_Frm", on which I would like to place a button to print the current record, (Primary Key is an autonumber "Employee Number") to a report "Sub_DetForm_Rpt".
I've used the instructions from, oops I can't show you the link! It's h(double t)p(colon)//allenbrowne(dot)com/casu-15(dot)html but I'm getting this error:
The expression On Click you entered as the property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Employee Details was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
This error occurs when an event has failed to run because Microsoft Office Access cannot evaluate the location of the logic for the event. For example, if the OnOpen property of a form is set to =[Field], this error occurs because Access expects a macro or event name to run when the event is fired.
I have a form created from a table that contains item information.
I have a sub form linked to a different table that contains records.
Each item has multiple records associated with it, so for example 1 record on the main form could have 10 records displayed in the sub form.
Example: Main Form :
Item | Units | Serial Number
Thermometer1 | DegC | 123456
Sub Form:
Item | Date | Actual Measurement | Unit Reading
Thermometer1 | 01/01/15 | 25 DegC | 24 DegC
Thermometer1 | 01/01/14 | 25 DegC | 23 DegC
Thermometer1 | 01/01/13 | 25 DegC | 24 DegC
Thermometer1 | 01/01/12 | 25 DegC | 26 DegC
Thermometer1 | 01/01/11 | 25 DegC | 25 DegC
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 have a report with quite a few subreports in it. There are a number of calculated fields on the form, most of which use Dlookup to retrieve at least one of the figures required for the calculation. The Dlookup runs fine and the report opens but the calculated fields are devoid of data in Report view. When I switch to Print Preview view the fields are now populated. Below are two variations of the DLookup syntax I have used to try and alleviate this issue.
=DLookUp("[8]","qry_MonthlyTotalsByYearFirstAid","[ActivityType] = 'First Aid Injury (FAC) Reported in Safeguard'")/[sub_AllHours].[Report].[8]
=DLookUp("[8]","qry_MonthlyTotalsByYearFirstAid","[ActivityType] = 'First Aid Injury (FAC) Reported in Safeguard'")/[Reports]![rpt_AllFigures]![sub_AllHours]![8]
Note that the field [8] specified here is simply a month number and forms a column in the crosstab query for the corresponding query name.
I would add the query referred to in the DLookup to the source query for the report but the source report's data is derived from a Crosstab query, which only accepts one data field (Access terms this as the value field.
I have created an application. It has a split front end and back end. I plan to distribute the runtime version. I have used code throughout that "hides" the microsoft access shell for popup (modal) windows. In every form & report I have a function to show or hide the access window. Everything works great until I get to my reports. I open reports in print preview. I created a custom table (USysRibbons) and added a Reports print preview ribbon & xml. I assigned that ribbon to my report(s), and I assigned it in options as the default ribbon. If I test the ribbon (by working in the database using "shift" open) I see my ribbon. But, in when I open app without shift or or if I emulate runtime, I can't get the ribbon.
I have multiple popups forms, several non popup forms and a couple of reports.I just want to keep all the access background stuff hidden - except for needing the ability to print.
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 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?
Using Access 2010.I purposely disabled the Access Objects when opening my database for added security. This works.
The problem I'm having is when I use the print button (access macro) on one of my forms, as soon as i click the button, the "all access objects" window opens on the left side navigation. This window shows all of my tables, forms, queires..etc.Is there a setting that will permanately stop this from opening?
