Print Report Based on Form

Hello,

I have a form and subform with their tables linked by a field called
Load_ID. I have a button on my subform that prints just the items listed on
that particular subform (looking at Load_ID). I'm using the following code:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "Load Sheet", acPreview, , "[Load_ID]= " & "'" &
Me.Parent.Form![Load_ID] & "'"

This works fine, but now I want to automate the process, so I set the
Load_ID on the main form/table to be an AutoNumber field. I changed
subform/other table Load_ID to a number field (it was a text field), but I
get the following error when I press the print report button:

Run-time error '3464'

Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

I assume this is because my Load_ID is a number value instead of text. My
question is, how do I re-write the above command to get it to work with
number values? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chad

Chad,
You don't need the quote marks around a number. Access thinks you are
trying to pass a string, even if it's all numbers.

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "Load Sheet", acPreview, , "[Load_ID]= " &
Me.Parent.Form![Load_ID]

should do the trick.

That worked great. Thanks for the quick reponse. That solved my problem.

Thanks,

I am having problems trying to print a report based on a form. This is a search form only, no data input. There is a query that the form looks at, but then there are numerous comboxes that you can pick information from either one or many and press a search button. See code below for the "Case Select" that was used to make up the comboboxes. Not a filtered list. My problem is that when I try to print, it prints all records before the...

I need to be able to print the current form because the form has an embedded object of a .gif file, so report will not work -- does anyone know the way to do this?

The preview button previews all the forms as well,...

Hi, I am trying to print a subform containing approx 50 columns in datasheet view. The printout cannot fit more than 8-10 columns. Does anyone know of any way to print all columns; i don't care if the printout spans multiple pages. FYI, the records displayed in the sub-form are dynamically obtained based on some ad-hoc querying in the main form. Any report, etc. generated will have to have the same set of records.

Hi, suppose I want to print third record from a subform. The problem is, that when I want to print what I see on my monitor (third record), the print preview resets the form to the first record (wants to print the whole form beginning). Is the any possibility to print a particular record, without making screenshots? Please, help me!!!

I have a vb.net 2005 application and am using the print preview screen. This screen has a printer icon on it that the user can use to print the document currently being viewed. It uses the default printer settings to print. I wanted the print preview to appear the same for all users (i.e. a default page size of 8.5x14 (legal) and portrait mode). Many users have different printers as their default (plotters etc..) and I found that various...

I have a subform in datasheet view that is the result of a complex vba custom query with a number of parameters. I would like to place a button on the parent form to print the datasheet view as a report or generate a report from recordset that created the datasheet view. I do not see the ability to create a report from a form. How is this best achieved? Thank You
