Printing form with current record

Hi

If I have a form open, what is the code that is equivalent to using the
File->Print menu with select record(s) option to print the form with the
currently displayed record values?

Thanks

Regards

In general, it's best to create a report for printing. You can then
precisely control how the print should be laid out. If it helps, you can
save the form as a report (File | Save As, in design view) to give you a
running start.

You can then use the primary key value in the form to identify the record to
be printed. Example code in:
Print the record in the form

Hi Allen

Thanks for that but the client want a simple dump of the form with the
currently displayed record. I figured If I could automate the File-Print
command with Selected Record(s) option that'll do the trick.

Thanks

Regards

Try:
RunCommand acCmdSelectReco rd
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection

I hate to even tell you how to do something that badly, though. :-)

Thanks for this. Any way to select the printer and/or page orientation
before printing?

I am having a problem with printing selected pages. Actually, the problem isn't with printing selected pages as it is more to do with having blank pages print for those pages that have not been selected. For example, if I were to have 5 pages with every second page printing, I would get the following results: Page 1 = Print OK Page 2 = Blank Page 3 = Print OK Page 4 = Blank

I have a form with a print button on it which opens a report. I specify the id in the where clause in the OpenReport statemt say the report prints for the current record. This works fine for existing records in the table. But when I add a new record I have to arrow backward and then forward to get it to print. I tried Me.Requery but it sent me to the first record in the table. How can I print the current record on the form?
