Print all columns of subform in datasheet view

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.

TIA,
Brian

Create a Report, with the fields laid out in whatever format you wish.

Simply create an ad-hoc query, and base your report on that query.
Does the subform have different FIELDS - not just different data -
based on the query?

John,

I had tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, MS Access does not allow
reports that are greater than 22 inches in width. My 50 columns need
the report to be atleast twice as wide.

And no, the fields in the sub-form do not change based on the query.
Only the data changes.

Thanks,
Brian

I have a form (CustomerImfo) that has a subform within it (order). Within that subform is another subform (OrderDetail). That subform (OrderDetail) is displayed in Datasheet view. When I am entering customers and their respective orders, the first order entered is fine with the "tab" field orders correct. On the second and subsequent orders, when I go from the Order form to the subform "OrderDetail", the curser goes to the wrong field...

This should be easy. I have 2 tables - CUST and SUBS, which have a 1 to many relationship. I created a form to show fields from CUST and a subform to show those in SUBS. The 2 tables are related on SUBSNO, and the data source for each is the table (not a query). It behaves wonderfully, except I can't seem to change the layout of the subform in design view. I make changes and can see them in design view but in form view it reverts back...

I have a a parent form with a subform. The parent form has two command buttons to change the subform view to single form view and datasheet view respectively. I can't seem to get this to work. There is a menu item to switch to datasheet view, but it won't go back to form view. The only way I see so far is to open the subform by itself in design view, change the default view, save & close, then set the sourceobject property in the main...

I added a new field to a table in the tables database. In the code database, I added a new column for the new field to a datasheet subform. I opened it in datasheet view and moved the column to the position I wanted it. No records are returned by the form's query (it has a "Where ID = -1" clause and the GoToRecord proc on the main form changes the subform's recordsource). When I opened the form and started adding data to the subform,...

First a quick background on the form: I have a form that is normally viewed in Single form mode. It has a subform on it that is in datasheet view. The main form is for work orders and the subform is for parts used on the work order. On the main form I have a LaborTotal (from main form), PartsTotal (from subform) and TotalCost (which is Labor + Parts). All works fine as is. Now to the question: I have a button on my main form to browse...

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

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
